    Re: My Plecos

    Plecos are some of my favorite fish. You have some nice examples of the variety they have. I just wish they weren't so timid. I don't want to spend that much money on a fish I almost never see. I had a gold nugget for a while and was lucky to see it once a month.

      Don't remember when I saw my 333 last time in my tank. That chap just hides all the time. Golden Nugget comes out once or twice a day in search for food. Royal is always out in the open scraping wood.

      Very shy chaps they are.

            Thanks Knotty & Visu.

            I have them in my Red Arowana tank.
            In summer, water temperature reached almost 35C (95F) but still they did fine.

              Great pics, love the L190! I don't beleive I have ever seen one before. I am pretty fond of pleco's myself having a 16" common, 14" saifin, a vampire, an unknown Hipp, and a breeding pair of ABLF with 50+ fry.
              I have been seriously considering picking up a medusa pleco but don't know much about them.

                Great to see fellow Pleco-lovers here, mate.

                Following Plecos are on my wish-list:
                Zebra (L46)
                Watermelon (L330)

                      Nice! Love the l018. I have always wanted to add some to the display tank but i am scared of introducing disease...

                            Your L333 looks identical to my L134. What the heck? :-)

                              Your L134 Peckoltia should have vertical stripe pattern rather than mazing one like my L333.
                              Had a bit of confusion earlier about L66, but experts on Pleco forum confirmed its White-base L333.
