I have a 7" L75 and a 6" L200 in a 48" X 24" tank together with a small L66, some cories and some tetras, they get along fine, each occupying their own drift wood. I'd also seen them being kept together in fish shops, don't think there's any issue as long as the tank is large eno...

I had similar problems with shrimps, but that was due to the tank temperature...

Barbie,
actually your experience could also mean that the long fin genes is recessive, i.e. the short fin parent could have a recessive long fin gene

I've tried keeping panda cories a couple of times in the last few years and they never survived beyond a few months. This breed seemed to have become very week as a result of commercial breeding.

could also be the light, mine just go into hiding when the light's switched on, so i feed them in the morning before turning on the light

You may wanna try bloodworm (life, frozen) or spirulina tablets (i use the one from Sera), mine love them.

I'd raised a few batches of sturisomas before, they were fed mainly on Sera Spirulina, mixed with a little Sera Viformo and Tetra Tabimin, feeding started after the egg sac's fully absorbed. Hikari algae wafer was fed when the fries were about a month old. Survival rate's more than 75%.

anyone had any success keeping this?
i had one for about a week couple of months ago, it refused to eat and didn't survive

came across another recently, was really interested in getting it but it had the same sunken stomach

i have one that looks like that in the picture, did some search in the catalog myself earlier, the closet i found was l135 and l121, some sites also list it as l37 net pleco, although it look nothing like the net pleco in catalog

I have a l200, a l137, a l14, a l75 and a l66 in the same tank as my 10 discus. They pretty much leave the discus alone but I don't think the discus appreciate the squabbling among the plecos during feeding time.

Hi,

I took your advice, raise the temp and left the bloodworm near it's hideout, it finally took some of the bloodworm last nite

Thanks

Thanks

My tank does not have any sand in it, thought that wil be better for monitoring purpose

I've raised the temperature, the fish's still not eating.
Will follow your advise and place the food nearer to the hiding place

It takes time, mine was quite secretive initially, only dashing out briefly when food was given at nite and immediately dashing back to its hideout when I approached. It got much bolder after I shifted it into my pl*co/dicus tank. It now comes out for brief excursions even during the day :D It seeme...

Didn't see it moving around after lights off

I fed it the kind for carnivorous catfish.

The tank temperature is about 77 F, don't have the readings for the rest though. I've been changing about 10%-20% of the water everyday. I knew it didn't touch the food cos the 2-3 bloodworms (and the little wafer) I threw in every nite remained untouch the next morning. It was hiding between 2 piec...

Hi, Bought a 2 inch L46 a couple of 4 days ago. It looked very healthy, good fins, stomach not sunken. It's now quarantined (alone) in a 10 gallon tank with some drift wood. Since I got it, it had not touch the food I threw in (frozen bloodworm, wafers). Started to get a little concern since I lost ...
