Experiance with L001?
Posted: 27 Aug 2005, 20:52
i have a small 6" L001, a member on here just helped me identify it 
i was wondering if anyone here has any experiances that they could share with me with these guys? at the moment he is in a 90g tub with 3 common goldfish. he has been in there for 2.5 months and has been doing quite well, he mananged to grow 4" out there
i have dfitwood and rocks caves out there for him. i feed him zuccini, potato, some earthworms, and of course he gorges himself on the hair algea coating the sides of the tub. he has already become quite tame, he'll swim right inot my hand and will be hand fed worms.
so, is there anything else i should be doing for him? i just want him to have the best life i can give him.
also, i know he will easily, and probably quickly, reach 10-12", so will he be able to stay in the 90g for life with the 3 commons? or should i upgrade? next spring i will be biulding a 1500g goldfish pond, if by then he starts going after my goldies, he will be put into the 200g mini pond that will be pouring into the main pond from the waterfall.
am i doing everything right? or am i wrong? this guy is my first pleco, so i'm not quite sure, and i'm getting a lot of conflicting info on the net :/
i managed to scrounge up a few old pic so him, these are when he was about 4.5" i'll try to get some updated ones tommorow
the first two are when he was still 3.5", the other is at 4.5" (about 3.5 weeks later, it won't be long until he's a good foot long!hehe)
in the last pic he is in a tank, but is now back out in his 90g tub with the comet and 2 commons. a racoon recently decided ot feast upon my all but 1 of my fancy goldies
,i was worried for him so i brought him in, just to be sure he wasn't injured during the ordeal.i now have racoon proof lids for night time so i feel secure that he and my new goldies will be safe.
i know, not the greatest pics, my digi cam isn't the best lol but with the right light i can get great pics, so we'll see
btw- his name is Katata
thank you to anyone that responds :0
