Yea I bought some of those root pieces and alot of your thick branchy pieces. The Root ones deff leach out tons of tannins but the thick branchy kind leach a bit as well and some have taken really long to sink. It varies Ive noticed from piece to piece.

I have purchased and used the driftwood sold here by this user and it really does look great and work great. The only this with these is it does take a bit of time for them to sink on there own between a week to even a month for some pieces. But this wood doesn't break down fast as all and my pleco ...

I'm pretty sure that L087 is a Cochliodon group fish, and the fish in this thread is NOT a Cochliodon fish. I suspect this fish is not an L-number fish, but rather one of the common species from South America that isn't exported much because they are not worth much for their size, when you can get ...

Ok I was trying to get an ID for my Hypostomus pleco but still having difficulty. I got more recent pictures of it in more relaxed colors. Is better feed no more sunken in belly (how it was when I bought it) and tail has grown back. Part of it was missing due to its former owners having it with an ...

Ok I tried this is what i got. Hard to take a shot since his mouth is facing the wall. Ill try to get a better one if needed

Ill see what I can do he either hides behind the filter or stays on the gravel most of the time. Ill post a pic as soon as i could get a nice pic taken.

Well I think its diet wasnt what it should have been. Considering its under weight leaves me to beleive all it had to feed on was any algea on the glass or left overs from other tank mates. Also seeing how his fins are damaged means he would of been hidding most of the time. He seems very shy. Im ...

But if its a larger species wouldnt it be bigger considering the size tank it was housed in??? I know its a diff species but my L-001 grew fast while in my 53gal. I could be wrong though I have been wrong a couple times in the past. More then ill ever admit lol. Ive never owned a Hypostomus before ...

Ok it has its fright colors back on. When its not in fright colors its spots look just like they do on the dark part of its back.

Hypostomus punctatus gets to big also the spotting on the body is different. The spots on H. punctatus are defined on the head but not on the body where as my new pleco has defined spots through out the entire body.

Loading some pics on photobucket right now maybe help with the ID a bit more.

Yeah I know how that goes. Well im figuring since it was in a 110gal for roughly 3yrs that it should be full grown or close to it. Ive been tryin to id this guy for bout a week on my own. Its amazing how many pleco's look alike. Hypostomus sp. for now I guess.

I was thinking it was hypostomus but couldnt figure out which. The coloring doesnt match any of the ones I saw pictured on this site. Ill try taking more pics so you could get a better look at its true colors.

Ok so a lil history and info on this pleco. The previous owner had this guys in a 110gal Aquarium for 2.5-3yrs and was purchased for 39.99 They said they remember it has an L number but dont remember what it was. This pleco was said to be 4-5" long but I just measured it and its 6.5" Not sure what ...

I knew this girl on another forum who had a plump Gibbicep like your we never thought bought it having parasites nobody did on the whole forum. I was new to the pleco world at the time but now that i think about it, it does make sence. To bad chouin wasnt there to let her know what was wrong with ...

They said the nitrites were high but everything else was normal and thats why they got rid of the Koi. From what they said though is that the white marks are going away and the belly isnt sunken in as much no more its almost back to normal. Seems like they figured out the problem themselves. Thanks ...

"I have a few different kinds of gold fish, two bala sharks, two irridescent sharks, one black shark, 3 small pictus catfishand it is a 110 gallon aquarium. I had 3 koi in there but I finally found them a new home yesterday. I feed them ALOT, they are always getting algae disks and fresh veggies ...

Hi I wanted to know if you could help me find out whats wrong with this pleco. Its not mine it belongs to someone from another forum but you seem to respond faster then they do plus you know more. Ive seen it on Pleco's at my job (Wal*Mart) and always wondered what it was. Here it is let me know ...

As stated earlier I messed up just re-editing my post so you dont think this is a fake item. The fish he is selling is for real n the person I thought he was wasnt I got wrong person. Sorry again man

Error was made on my part seller in question was someone else I jumped the gun. Sorry for any harm that may have been done. Again sorry.

L-229 how big does it get also I need to mostly rely on Online store for pleco's since my LFS only carry commons and gibbicep's and on ocassion royal's mango's and other's which I dont remeber what they are. So if you could provide a site that sells the fish you suggested BK it would be very helpful.

I was talking about the rusty pleco not looking as nice when bigger. Saw the L-90 on this site and the only thing I really like is its tail. Plecos I have in mind are 1) 2 gibbiceps one normal and one albino 2) 2 Rhino one norm one albino 3) L-001 1 or 2 cant find any though 4) Mango Pleco's 5) Blue ...

Yeah was talking about the ones on aquabid. lol. They dont look as stuning when bigger from the few pics ive seen already. I've been into the Emperor/Flash pleco's for a while but havent found any sites that sell them. I'm in the begging stage of planning to buy a 250-300gal aquarium. I want to fill ...

yup thats them just checked planetcatfish log

Yeah that looks like the emeror pleco. Do you know how big they get. Ive always seen them listed as emperor plecos never heard the name flash pleco before. Thanks rusty you were right that other sight was wrong.

why does planetcatfish have totally differant pics for these to then http://www.transfish.de/L1-25.html

I just went to a pleco site and checked the picks for the L num you gave me and I got this
these were from transitfish

L-77

L-137

Thanks alot. Ive been thinkging of getting a big tank to have it be just a pleco tank and these are one of several im considering.

I want some info on this pleco I've never seen it before til now. Also if you can provide on another pleco its called and meror pleco its black with strips of white. Thanks alot for your time.

I saw some green phantoms and they look nice Ive also seen some blue phantoms which also look nice. So my question is do they get along??? Also do they do good in groups of like 3??? How big do they get??? Also what is the recommended size tank for a single blue phantom and a single green phantom ...

Im guessing your talking about something like this. If it it then I would guess it would be ok but then never use this myself.
