I have a group of 5 L147. They are a fairly peaceful fish, often bullied by other more aggresive plecos. In terms of shyness, they tend to hang around a favourite cave sometimes inside, sometimes around the enterance. Don't expect them to come to you during feeding time though.

The common local or pond bred plecos seem to the toughest fish in the world. I had 2 survive a buffer overdose in a Tang tank.

I want to buy a small 5cm gibbicep (sailfin pl*co) and put it in my 55gal african tank. i know they grow large, my LFS has no problem taking him back for store credit when he gets too big. I just have a few questions Will he adjust to the higher ph? Can he defend himself against my Cobalt blue ...

Yeah the background really detracts from the tank at the moment. I usually prefer the background to be a neutral or non at all.

Yeah I've gone through all the forum topics with the search L147. There was some confusion in one of the threads I read, so I though I'd just post up the pics of my guy and see the response.

Anyway thanks for the advise.

Hi,
Just wanted to get confirmation on the id of this guy, I believe he is a L147 as he came in with a shipment of L104.






Thanks.
