I was hoping sand might mimick a breeding trait. I have some AKA white fin and viginia cories. THey haven't breed with all the other ways so I figured I'd try sand but still with no luck. I might as well clean it out THanks MIKE

WHat cories are known to breed in sand? Thanks MIKE

I've been trying to breed these with no luck. I have two of them that looks like they are about to explode with eggs. I have no problem breeding a good amount of cories but with these I'm stuck. I read some place that males and or females change there colors when it time to spawn. Is this true ...

Coryman what do you have to say about my question?

Thanks I thought the males had the colors. Do the plain males almost look like a crappy Bronze cory? With a little line detail on the whitess side? MIKE

So are you saying with the elegans the males have the colors and female are plain? MIKE

Is there anyone on this site that's into plecos Live in Maryland? MIKE

I agree with Jon. Most of my Plecos don't eat right away when I get them. Some times the ones that do and act half starved are the ones I worry about.

I use Hagen Cycle and it works great I don't suggest many products myself but this stuff has really helped my tanks out and I can't live without the stuff. Also it don't stink up your water like some of the other products. Just my 2 cents. MIKE

I just went through this about 3 weeks ago. I got some 100 micron clothe and placed in front of my filter. It worked really fast. You just have to make sure you check it ofter do to it gets dirty quick. I'd shut the power head down a while and let it clear some and then start it up slow so your ...

I hope your joking about nice and cheap. I think I'm going to your Country and make a million dollars and then bring that back to the States. That's almost a double your money return. Are you going to try to breed them? MIKE

I've looked and read on this topic of wood for plecos. Now I have Malaysian Wood. As you all know it's a very hard wood. I've seen my plecos eatting off of it:P , but I've read some people see bite marks on there wood. With Malaysian wood I just can't see that. I've read that people use soft wood ...

How are Baryancistrus with breeding in tanks?

Who do you buy these from?

I figured out my pleco's have the bacterial hemmoyadda septicemia, I'm treating with tetracycline. I hope it's not to late.

Now I've lost about 12 different deaths with no answers.

I got the rocks out of my tank and tomorrow I go on another search for sand. MIKE

My water is soft, temp stays about 78 degrees, ph is stable 7.2 Nitrates and trits are in the norm. MIKE

my PH is good and so is every thing else, My tank upstairs is ick, But my big 75 gallon in lost. When I went away every one was fine so I thought

I just read in one of the pleco books that when a female bristle nose is interested in a male and his cave she'll try to enter it. If he's not interested he'll kick her out of beat her up but most of the time it's not that bad. Well about 15 mins ago I just notice one of my male bristle nose plecos ...

Got dang it she died last night. One out of four left and she find. I'm lost

I just finished reading on of the AQUALOG, Loricariidae book. Being from the USA some of the terms I guessed on. But one of the things I agreed with and have to do is change the material at the bottom of my tank. I have the store bought rocks but they aren't totally rounded. I have notice some marks ...

I had to put one of the females in a sick tank. Both of her eyes are messed up and her face. She pissed someone off. I don't think she's going to make it,

They are the parrot kind. I have never seen any of them ever fight each other or pay any attention to my pleco's. I guess they know if they are to die the pleco's will make a fast meal of them . MIKE

Yes chiclids and other peaceful plecos.

I went away and had some one feed my fish and plecos' I have different L's and I have never had this problem. I have 6 bristle nose males and I HAD 4 females. I come back tonight and two females are gone ( Bones are at the bottom of the tank) One female is fine and the other looks to be blind now in ...

Thanks. Mine are over 6''s so I hope that helps. The male and females are never in the same cave. They will share with other L pleco's but never with each other. MIKE
