Post by Spakase »

Just brought two L204s home. They're very nice fish, with beautiful colours.

Do you keep L273s? Titanicus pleco.
I'm starting a collection. The tail of an L273 can be splendidly long! And not to mention the body colours, spots. Wow, what a fish! :P

When do the L204 get their long tails? I have some that are about 3.0-3.5" that dont have the long fin extensions yet... Is that also when they mature? They are getting their own tank soon for a small project...
Your cure for the common Cichlid!

Don't worry for the tail.It will grow back in no time.I have 2 LDA32 (Panaque Albomaculatus) and the tail fin was bitten for the same reason but within a month was perfect again!!!
