If you can get one of the clips with the suction cups that goes on the glass, you can use that for the zuchinni, and I find mine loves spinach, romaine lettuce and broccoli too.

I have a 55G as well, and when I had my clown I had one piece of mopani, one piece of driftwood. I never saw him eating either one, but then I rarely saw him during the day. I did see him sucking on my riverstones, but alas, he did seem to prefer the zuchinni chunks.

Definitely not one of the two above choices. It's a very smooth bodied plec, no spikes or exaggerated scales or plates. I'll have to go back and see if the person who knows what's up is there.

Neither of those. Very small head, I would guess not of either of those two groups either. It wasn't albino. More of a light brown as opposed to a true "yellow". Oh well, I'll keep browsing the L numbers in my spare time. It was only $6.99, so I don't imagine it was too exotic.

My LFS had a small plec for sale, labelled as a "yellow plec". It was of course clueless staff day, so no one knew a more specific name/size/etc. I did look through the cat-elog, but I confess not all of the L-numbers. Perhaps one of you can narrow it down a bit? The current size was about 2.5 ...

I am in need of a new plec after a heater disaster (boiled fish, anyone? very depressing). I saw an L-200 in an aquarium shop for $40. I have been reading some of the threads on this fish, and the profile, and the COTM article. :) However, being a little paranoid about the more expensive critters, I ...

I've often wished I had a digital to get a shot of my very fat bristlenose on the glass beside my farowella.

I have a 55G community tank, which includes 2 yo-yo loaches as bottom feeders. In terms of catfish, I have a pair of otos (about 1.5" each), an albino bristlenose (about 2"), a clown plec (1"), and a farowella (4"). I generally give the loaches some bottom feeder pellets daily (about 4 small shrimp ...

I have a pair of yo-yo loaches that seem to keep the snails in check. I too received "hitchhikers", despite my picking through every leaf and root of new plants. I still see the odd one, but assume the loaches are eating the rest. I have no problems crushing the survivors! :) Yo-yo's are supposed to ...
