A friend of mine works in an LFS and called me up from the wholesalers saying they had some great Chubby Plecs and would I like one. They were the gold variety so I jumped at the chance. I went to see it today and this thing is about 20cm long and almost as wide. Apparently they'd never seen them in this size, and its absolutely beautiful.

I'm not sure if this is the ideal place to post, but I thought I'd mention it. Apparently there are more Chubby plecs available at this size and also Scarlet plecs (LO56). As i'd been searching for this plec for ages, I figured others might as well. Feel free to PM me and I can pass on the details.

Cheers

I moved this to the Loricariidae section, as that's where it belongs.

Beware that the "golden" chubby pleco is very likely to turn brown - they may return to golden colour once acclimated to your tank, but that requires that the water conditions are just right and they fish is "happy".

Cheers Mats, I knew I'd go wrong somewhere. Quite right the 'gold' is transient. The real reason I love this fish is girth and its furriness. Can't beat them for the odontoidal covering.

Cheers
