thanks! Now I know at least what to expect from that fish

thanks! that has helped a lot! outgrowing the tank mmmh... well i was thinking about uprading again anyway in the near future :roll: with an at least 50g tank... (there is a really cheap 155g out there at the moment *drool*) any ideas about growth rate? how soon should I expect more inches? thankx ...

Well, I think he lived on algae wavers, algae and some left over goldfish foods... and he was kept in a 5 g tank with 2 goldfish... i now have him in my 33g tank, i hope that is enough for him for now

What do you think?

Iris

thanks for helping me ID this guy!

how fast (or slow) is their growth rate? Appearantly the previous owner has had him for 5 years, but he is only 6 inches long. Did the small tank he was kept in slow his growth rate (is that even possible?)? Or should I expect the other inches soon?

Iris

This is the little 6 inch guy that I recently got from my neighbour...

any ideas of what he is exactly?

thanks
Iris

thankx Janne,
I'll keep an eye if it gets better now. He took the new cave as a new day time home not the too small place behind the heater

Iris

anyone?

I think I now know how he got injured. He was trying to hide during the day and was trying to squeeze himself behind the heater....

I hope it is getting better now as I finally got him a cave yesterday.

Please give me any suggestions of how to treat that injury further..

Last weekend i got a 5" pleco from my neighbour. I believe he is something like a common pleco, but I'm not even close to being an expert... :wink: He came out of a 5g tank. So now i have him in my 33g tank with a goldfish, they are sharing half the tank asI have a devider in there because the ...

thanks! what about the amount given to him?? in bloodworms, algae wavers, or zuchini??

thanks
Iris

I'm probably not posting that in the right section... sorry... I have been wondering if I'm actualy feeding my Bulldog Pleco the right amount of food... :?: and if there would be other foods that are good for him. Like vegies for example.. So far I have been feeding him algae wavers, which he just ...

Thanks, if I would get a second one i'd have to wait a little until I can put the 3 goldfish back outside into the pond, so i can have more tank space for more fish or snails.
I have an aquaclear 200, which seems to work pretty well.

Iris

what would you consider large enough? I have a 25g tank.

Iris

thank you ! that were realy fast replies!

should these be kept alone or with other "buddies"?

Ramshorns need a pH of about 7.5, to keep their shells in good shape. (Shell errotion!) Waterchanges about once a week should be fine. What is your tanks temperature?? Ramshorns, just like any other applesnail, like it warm. Some people have them at only 70, some at about 78 Fahrenheit. How big are ...

Hi, I bought this pleco about 5 months ago. According to the store it is a thomasai pleco. I have been trying to get specific information about this kind of pleco for months, but never found anything until someone suggested this page. I'm not anymore too sure if this is a thomasai pleco. He/She is 3 ...
