I’ve got a 75g that I setup for a group of wild L134’s. I’ve got 6 total, no ideas on sex ratios yet. I had a group of G.sveni with them but lost them due to a heater incident which the L134 seemingly weren’t bothered. I’ve fed NLS grow, Kens meat wafers, frozen mysis and bloodworms. I’m going to mix ...

I'm considering turning one of my 75g into a hypancistrus tank. Considering getting either six or seven L333 or L173b, not really concerned about breeding, more just something different than the cichlid tanks, and my wife loves any pleco's with black and white stripes. My main concern is if there ...

Usually I can figure out what I want, but having trouble picking a pleco. I have 65g community with tetras and apistos. I'm looking for something smaller and will keep the wood algae free. I've done bristlenoses, but looking for something different. One thought was LDA-31 but kind of concerned about ...

Not to be argumentative, but this pleco has thrived in hard water without wood for the last few years. Even when there was wood in the tank he avoided it, preferring the rocks.

I have a L200 in my 125g tanganyikan tank. I'm getting some xenotilapia and I was wondering if anyone has had problems with L200's being aggressive. I never saw him chase anything in my tetra tank, but I never watched at night. He has a large rock pile that he sits in all the time and the xenos will ...

I have a group of 5 wild caught adult multipunctatus in my 125g, but I am getting some new frontosa and don't want them in with them. I would like to have a species only tank with the multis but I don't know what size tank to go with. I would like to go with a 40 breeder but I don't know if thats ...

I'm going to get a new tank pretty soon and I don't know what the best footprint would be for breeding a small Hypancistrus species, possibly L-066. I'm looking for something in the 35g-50g range, but shorter than 48".

Im thinking about getting a small tigrinius for my 75g and growing it out. I have a 125g that I could transfer it to eventually. How fast do they grow and at what size would you move it into something larger than a 125g.

Yes theres a heater,no heater guard. I never it anywhere close to a heater. I also had the heater unsuctioned from the side.

I got a L260 pleco yesterday and tonight I found it dead. params on the tank are Temp-79 Ph-8.0 Ammonia-0 Nitrite-0 Nitrate-10 He looked good when I picked him up, but the worker grabbed it by the tail and it started flapping in the tank. I drip acclimated it for atleast an hour. I noticed when I ...

I'm starting to aquire more plecos now and Im starting to run out of spaces for them to hide. My 2 BN hide in a peice of driftwood that has 2 tight spaces for them. My big royal just generally lumbers around the tank not caring. My leopard frog though hides right behind a filter intake. I was ...

I went to my LFS and the got in a L260. I wanted a L066 but this looked close enough. Not realizing that L260 is a Queen Arebesque I had them put it on hold for me. I had generally been leaning away from them since I read that they need high oxygenated water and fast current. They're also sensitive ...

I am scared that one of my plecs is going to snuggle up to one of my heaters and get burned. I have seen what happens when they do this and I want to prevent this. Is there anything I can do to cover my heaters and protect my plecs.

Ya that does look it more, but Im not sure about the end of the tail color. I'll have the look at it when I go by there.

I was at the lfs today and they had a pleco labeled as rare pleco. I was trying to figure out what it was. It looked like a young Peckoltia Sabaji. It was a yellowish with black spots. Is there anything else it could be.

How does everybody deal with the saw dust from there royal eating on driftwood.

You see L14's a lot of the time, I haven't seen any L48s but it may just be because there not a standout plec and not commonly imported.

I saw my first zebra pleco ever today. It took all of my restraint not to buy it, it was 125$ and locally born and bred. I had to settle for a leopard frog plec but its still looking nice, I was hoping the employee caught the wrong plec and didn't know which one was which.

Would 2 royals work in a 125g. I would obviously have to upgrade the cover but Im hoping it would work. Also would 2 BN work with them too. I love having them in there for algae.

mi espanol es muy muy mal por el tempo de L260 es 23C-28C.

Well I decided to go with the one on the net. The main fish Im getting price went down so the comparable cost was equal. I've got a better feeling about the one on the net. Also I trust the net seller more than the lfs. Hes done everything he can to be accomadating and you can tell hes a good guy. I ...

There is a 7" royal plec at my lfs that Im interested in. I thought everything was good till I reserved it today. I noticed that its belly was starting to sink in. I can get a 7" one online with my shipment for 20$ more. I dont know which one to get.

How tolerant are Liosomadoras oncinus of high ph. I want to get one but my ph wont go below 8.

Are either of the 2 raphael cats ok with tetras and cories. I can only see a problem at night when the tetras are sleeping and the raphaels are out.

Im looking at getting some more rare plecos for my 125g. There's a distributor in my town that has L090 for sale. I looked in the Cat-eLog and googled it. Does anybody have any info on them such as size.

I received a wholesalers list of some plecos. One in paticuler interested me. Peckoltia Zebra LDA 26 Peckoltia sp. I looked up each one of the names and I cant figure out what this is. Anyone know what it could be.

Im going to be moving my 2 syno multis to another tank in a couple days and I dont know how to catch them without a net. I know that they can get caught up in nets really easy.

I have a couple cichlids in my 125g that have ich. So I have to treat the entire tank now. But I have 2 Syno. Multis. What is a good ich med thats safe for them.

I just got 2 4in BNs today and I just noticed that one has a big belly. I am familiar with bloat but I dont think that plecos could get it. Im thinking that trying to give them some greens and peas would help if hes constipated. I think that its a male. Its has less and smaller bristles than the ...

could you put a cap on one end and still do it. Also does putting some food in help. Would this work for synodontis multis
