I went to @jasonsplecos on Monday cause he ships fish for me occasionally. He brings in a ton of wild plecos from sth america. I had seen these 6 wild sveni that came in on 1 of his recent shipments. I was interested but had decided against getting them. When I saw them in person I was done. They’re 3.5-4.5” and the trailers on their dorsal, caudal and pelvic fins are to die for. They can home w me.
Currently QT’ing in a 40B that I scaled for them yesterday. Will watch them a few months then possibly add to the 500gal. Possibly. The red head topajos have had some of the length of their trailers nipped off, I guess either each other in territorial disputes, or the bala sharks. I really don’t want the trailers nipped off on the Sveni though so I may not make that move. They do reach 7-10” so they definitely can’t stay in the 40 though.
here’s a video after 24hours in my care
