After isolation and treatment the white patch on the caudal region has disappeared. However I notice that the eyes are bulging. Is this normal? I'm hoping it isn't pop eye.

Re: Help-Fungus/Fin Rot or Attacked?


I have some problem interpreting the photos, I see a rather normal looking pleco.

I did not mis a fin or so, and all the fins look OK to me.

Re: L 114 sexing breeding advice


IMG_1205.JPG They are far too young to be able to tell apart! When they are about double that size, it should be easy...See the attached photo of a pair of mine from a while back. Best view is from above. Wide midsection female, wide head, male.

Thanks Andrew, looks like it is going to be ...

Wild ferel pleco id

Spotted in the river. Feral population seems established. Possibly a mating pair. Does not appear like the pterygoplichthys that is commonly found in the lfs. Wondering if these are the offspring of the larger common hypostomus that used to be sold in the ...

Peckoltia Compta?

http://i1230.photobucket.com/albums/ee484/lsunderaj/20170911_210803_zps8ojjucsb.jpg

Was labelled as leopard frog pleco at my LFS. Purchased a month ago. Have some doubts about coloration as it seems closer to lineola or sp than Compta. Your comments are appreciated.
