Excuse the messy floor, things getting done in there and stuff pulled out. normally the floor is clear way in http://209.85.48.11/13698/15/upload/p2818585.jpg Tanks are awaiting more stock, though all ones posted have a light stocking just now. http://209.85.48.11/13698/15/upload/p2818587.jpg http ...

superb

This is what made me think L339

http://www.plecofanatics.com/forum/show ... p?p=172368

the ones on the 1st post look like mine

Well it seem it might be an L399, what you think?

Was told about an L173 on aquabid and the price started over £3000 for 6, no way could I pay that, so I think I might have been told the wrong number when I bought it

Thanks Mat, now all I need to do is find more

Sorry about that, I mod on that site and it is supposed to allow guests, need to look into that.

This is my L173 (well was sold as that)

unfortunately one has died after getting stuck and I need to try and get another, so conformation on what it is would be appreciated

I read on a forum (can't remember which one) that a member had the same problem and it was the baskets not fitted down properls was allowing bypass.

I have heard great reviews from fellow fishkeepers on the Rena xp3, though I don't think 1 filter will beat 2.

Hope this helps.

Yeah, I can't see suffocation as a nice way to go

Don't quite follow the L173 in DATZ (newbie bit showing I guess) This is the picture of L173 0n this site http://www.planetcatfish.com/images/half/loricariidae/hypancistrus/sp(l173)/1.jpg And this is what it says in Identification "L 173 is applied to H. zebra without a "clean" pattern." so I guess ...

No problem, I just posted it to show you after you asked if it was deffo L173, be good to find out for sure now.

For a small fish, I just scoop them in the net and then in one swing bounce it off a hard surface with some force the multi trauma is quick and effective, a tad brutal but have never had one survive or any movement after.

Picked them up straight from the importer who said they were wild caught L173.

I'm from Coatbridge in Scotland, UK.
It is 10 miles from Glasgow and 40 Miles from Edinburgh

In with my Oscar and sev I have a Striped Raphael and Ornatus catfish, Also had L001 plec too and for a short while an L333

Thanks for the welcome guys

I reloaded them for you as they were not working

Thanks

Hi, I just recently bought 2 of these and read here on the website they are mainly carnivour, should I feed them only bloodworms and brine shrimp or give them some veg and wood too.

Hello, my name is gerry and i am starting to get more plecs, have had an L001 for about 18 months but recently bought two L173 and two still to be confimed plecs.
I am mainly into cichlids but have catfish too.
Looking foward to meeting you all.

Had two the two opinions above on this pleco which was named as a "blackliped brushnose" at LFS and it's around 1" just now.
Could someone here tell me what it is.
