:DHere r a few photos. I don't understand why they look soooo bad. Been fiddling w/my camera and here r the results. I will try to figure this out to give a better look next time.

I had 3 plecos in this tank. They r gone. Don't no what happened. I have 3 in my 40gal, and had 3 in my 75 gal. 1 died in my 75gal, don't no what happened there either. I will be combineing all fish soon to a 150 gal since these guys r getting too big for there homes.
I put a cd up for ref but they don't like it too much so i will do the best i can next time to get an accurate pic.

Looks good Eileen. Were you supplementing the plecos with algae wafers or anything? Maybe they just weren't getting enough to eat?

What size tank do you have the challengers in right now?

They really are looking nice, good job! :)

Thanks Karen. I haven't put too much algea wafers in because they don't eat it enough. The others r doing great. Don't no what happened. I currently have them in a 55gal. soon i will be getting my 150gal up and running then i will only have one tank to clean instead of 3.....:o

Yes, algae wafers can be messy, I don't feed them very often either. Just once in awhile when I'm feeling generous. :) Most times I think they just eat the leftover bits and things in the tank. I got 13 of the plecos from the same place you did and I've only lost one. I seem to lose the albino BN's much easier for some reason.

Eileen, your fish are looking fantastic!
Their blue and red markings are really starting to gleem now. How's your feeding, and water change programe going?
Keep up the great job you are doing........Only 4 moths to go!

Eileen, you're doing an excellent job! I love the consistent ROUND body shapes on all of them!:) Keep up what you're doing pretty soon you will have some awesome adult alenquers to work with!
