L030 Peppermint Pleco

Pyxis · Post by **Pyxis** » 12 Feb 2004, 01:04

Can anyone give me some info on this pleco. I have searched but could not find anything in the cat-e-log. My local Petsmart has one, and I wanna pick it up tomorrow.

Any help is appreciated:)

LOL...not even one tidbit of info??? Sorry for being impatient. I just wanna pick these up today before they get taken. It is very hard to find any info on these suckers

This will be my first jump into plecos btw.

Thanks,
Steve

Hmmm....I tried the cat-eLog and didn't find much. Also, google does bring up alot of hits but I can't find info. Alot of the sites are in different languages.

I did find the temp range, pH range, and GH range though.

I just would like to know if it's more of a herbivore or carnivore. Does anyone have one of these guys? I would appreciate any info at all.

Thanks,
Steve:)

Just to keep in mind, I understand they tend to lose their spots as they become adults. Actually, not really lose them, but their spots are actually too small.

I have one peppermint pleco, from experience mine seems to be more of a carnivore but having said that it seems quite reluctant to show itself even when food is about. Algae wafers seem a firm favourite of most of my plecos so I suggest those. It is quite a peaceful plec and co-exists happily with the rest of my pleco family

hope this is of some help

I found a pepermint plec here at one of our petsmarts in minneapolis. It only took me a month to convince myself to get him. Bought him yesterday and he seems to be settling in. I'm looking for info also.
