Today I finally became the proud owner of my first pair of adult wildcaught L262 :d
I'm extremely happy with them :romance-inlove: :happy-sunny:

Here's a picture of them

They look fine this morning. Each has taken a cave. Hope they settle down quickly and like their new home :animals-fishblue:

Thanks everybody! b-)

Here some pictures of the fish, now a bit settled in. Each has a cave and it looks like the female has already been traped.
But first it's time for some rest and peace and quiet :icon-wink:

Nice!

I'm thinking of 3 beacon pleco, a leopard frog pleco or a pair of blue phantoms!

Is this your wish list of plecos or an attempt to recommend unwise additions to Jac's spawning set up for his L262? Breeding set up should be species tank although harmless species of Nannostomus Pencilfish and/or Hatchetfish or Cherry Shrimp may be kept in pleco breeding tanks to make them a little more interesting than tails in caves.

Hi Jac,

I'm not sure if your fish are pair. Fish on the right seems more like a young male. Do you have head photo(odontodes)?

You're correct. The male is on the right. The female on the left, she's bigger and maybe older.

No no I wasn't suggesting them for jacs tank. I was getting giddy about getting a new pleco! I've now bought 3 x L333 around 1.5 inches long which I'll be putting into a species tank!
