So sorry to hear this. He will be greatly missed. Rest in peace dear friend.

Pleco ID needed. These are f1 babies around 2.5 inch TL. Parents were purchased as L471. Are they L471? Or are they L201, L201 big spot, or Contradens? The parents are max 4 inch TL. I've had the parents for 2 years now and remained about the same size.

That sounds very promising. Best of luck with them.

Where in Dallas are you located? What are you using to treat your water? Is this a new house or an old house? Are the 75 and 29 gallons old tanks of yours?

Sorry for your loss TTA. I would also agree with Chuck's explanation unless your caves are not long enough for 3 plecos?

I use a brine shrimp net.

Nice looking group Eric. Good luck.

Something like these-

Maybe Hypostomus sp. (L227)

I guess I've been lucky with not killing fish directly during water changes mainly because I pre-treat my city water in 55 gallon barrels along with using a whole house filter for my fish water. What I have done is flood my fish room so many times that I've lost count.

Looks very promising.

TTA, are yours looking similar?

Fantastic looking!

Barbie,

Do you have any recent pics of the Black and White Hypancistrus to show? Adult sizes are only 3.5 to 4 inches TL is what I remember. I'm not sure where some of yours are from. They were received as 136B many years ago.

So it is possible those you have are L201 dwarf.

I have 2 Trachelyopterichthys taeniatus for sale. They are are around 6 to 7 inches TL.
$80ea. I've had them for a few years so they are totally acclimated and healthy.

I am located in Dallas, Texas. Prefer pick-up but Shipping available, buyer pays shipping.

Thanks,

Ken

That's wonderful to hear. Sounds like the pleco factory is back in business.

Ahhhh! Such beauty. Can't wait to see all the new tanks running with plecos. Very exciting!!!

This L240 is around 8 inches. Do you think it is male or female? Pictures are all of the same pleco.

I've been pretty lucky. I keep my group of 8 262 in a 20 gallon Long and they haven't killed anyone. There's also a dozen or so babies in there that are between 3/4 ot 1.5inches. Barbie, you will have no problem replacing those type of Hyps soon.

Price reduced to $200 for the group.

Yes, I still have them. Please PM for more details. Thanks,

Just wanted to share that this male came from very good lineage. It is an offspring from Barbie's Male. Picture of that male is on the Cat-e-log. I've decided to sell this last group since I nolonger have the time. They have spawned several times. Please PM if interested.

Thanks,

Ken

Barbie, and soon you will have many males for the swap.

Here is my final Breeding group of LFABN. These are the best you will find anywhere. Nice long straight fins. Just look at the male. There are very few like it.

This is a young breeding group. All fish are 5+ inches

I'm asking $250 for the group. Shipping Available at buyers expense.

Barbie

Awesome!

Hey Barbie,

interested in more, snubbers.

Hi Barbie,

Interested in some more Snubbies? I have 4 that are now 1.75in.

Thanks Mats,

I probably should rephrase that and not imply the Ban being lifted but more species allowed. The guy posting is a local retailer and I'm not sure where he got his info. He may just be saying more species "allowed" like you said.

I was reading our local fish website. Is there any truth to Ban being lifted?
