agree, blue phantom

Did you do 85f and rid-ich at the same time? I have rid ich and using it on my salt water tank,.. I'm so sick of waterchanges its not funny.. but i'll trow some in today to minimize the chances of the ich getting worse as i slowly raise the temperature. have two air stones going and gonna use a half ...

Anyone ever tried this before? I have 7 petricola, 4 multies, and 1 Angelicus in a 55gal, all juvies. Theres some ich on one of the larger petricolas. Which sucks because I'm running a UV steralizer. I know 85f is a little over there prefered range, can they tolerate it for a week? Any suggestions ...

Hi just wondering if anyones ever had a problem mixing the two. Im worried my royal and flash will scrap some plastic off while grazing it for algea, is this a vadlid concern?

I just got 4 new multies 2-3 inch range, They are always skimming the top of the water, its amusing and dont mind it, but wanted to know if it was normal not not a sign of stress. Thanks.

hate to add to the confusion but it also looks like it could be a peppermint pleco.

Boil it, they can still have snail eggs and alot of other stuff, it'll also help realase alot of Tannins that might stain your water. Its not necessary but i do recommend it.

My L-204's love zuchinni, and cucumber skin, yesterday he was fighting off a green phantom 3 times bigger then him for cooked whole shrimp. There are plenty of other veggies you can try as well. As far as for wood, just remember to boil it for an hour then soak it over night to release tannins. A ...

I'd much rather have pleco that grows 6 inches compared to one that grows 10.Thanks for all your help guys

Heres a picture of the mouth hope it helps

Yeah they should be able to stay out of eachothers way. The Phantom is big enough that the vampire wont want to harass. My lfs had them together for a month in a 20gal with no problems, both were the same size.

It was purchased as a snowball, Someone in another forum said the mouth was not one of a baryancsitrus. I'd like to find out what it is, Its not a vampire, I bought one the same size and its completely different. Please help! http://www.plecofanatics.com/gallery/data/500/spot2.jpg http://www ...

Hello, I have around 10 petricolas in a 55gal with various Tanganyikan fish. One has made it his mission to train for Nascar, All day he swims around and around a spong filter non stop. Hes actually getting faster at doing this, all my other peticola's are fine. Its been around a week and its ...

If you just got him, you need to try feeding him blood worms or algea waffers at night and try keeping your tank covered. This plecs are pretty hard to acclimate to new tanks. Lucky someone gave me this advice and it worked for me. As far as water, just keep it at whatever ph the water it came with ...

Hey my friend recently gave me a millennium 3000 filter its a dual overhang filter, I'm wondering if i can use it on a 10 gallon, to house a 3 3inch panaque plecos. The current one really can't handle all there droping.. my concern is the current, it does have a flow control.

Heres a side pic, he seems to show that dark striped pattern more often then not.
Thanks

He is fuzzy and has a lyred tail.
Thanks i bought him as a common. but theres alot of commons. Anyways thanks

Hello i keep mine in ph 8 and hes doing fine, the e-cat-log is correct. Theres an exception to every rule ya know. With that said just make it a slow transition from whatever ph it is now. I really wanted to add it to my Tangangikan tank but im sure the leleupi's would rock its word.

how silly of me, ok here goes, Bought the fish 3 days from today 1-12-06 Qt tanks (10gal) been but for a around a year nothings been in it for a month, did a 50% water change day before putting new plec in. ph is @ 7.7 today (came in water @ ph7.9 slowly working it down with drift wood) Temp a ...

1. Anyone have any suggestions on making him eat? 2. He hasn't tried to hide or move at all. i noticed a little heavy breathing so i trew in an airstone. Also he hasn't eaten or even acknoweldged his food( frozen brine,algea waffer, its been only 2 days but im a little worried. I knew the eating ...

Thanks guys, and yes the other fishie is a moth catfish. Anyone ever keep a maccuss with a flash pleco? My flash pleco and maccuss met up today in the tank and the maccuss got kicked out of the driftwood. Will a flash kill a maccus?

Hope these help they arent much better, im still waiting to get a good face shot.

Looks like an L90c, very nice pleco, they eat wood so make sure to have alot of driftwood, and also @_@ they poop alot. good luck with the little guy.

Well i just let him out of the bag, i had to slowy get the ph up. he was in ph5.9..@_@ my tanks around 7.0 I'll let him settle for a while make sure hes ok then take some better pictures. Sorry about the last ones but flash and plastic bags dont seem to mix. Now im going to my buddies to move some ...

Got this little guy today, he's 2 inches and has been at a lfs for a couple of months now(owner says 6 months but i'd say 3) i bought a L204 from him eariler. I think it might be a maccuss, he called it a gold tiger. Anyways i've looked up and down the cat-elog and still think it can be 25% of the ...

LoL, not my left overs, i feed NLS pellets, algea waffers, spirnalina flakes, and occasinally live stuff like black worms and brine shirmp. but i do wonder if the'll like some left over pizza, j/k. Btw lucky you multies are the best, too bad they are overpriced around here.

Thank Marc, i guess it really doesnt matter which varient it is as long as hes getting along well with my other petricola's. Now that he is fatting up his head is looking more typical of regular petricolas. btw these are awesome little cats, very attive, look great, and eat all the left overs. I'd ...

I'd say albino chocolate pleco. I wonder if it taste as good as it sounds.

I got this guy 2 days ago from a lfs. It looks like a petricola, but as you can see it doesn't have alot of dots. Its a little bigger then 3 1/2 inches and its face is a little off. I'm not sure if its a giant sp, or the blunt face varient can anyone help? http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y211/uber ...

I known of angelicus to kill multies, then eat them to the bone.. it was a sad sight, multies are my favorite catfish.
