Re: Caves, rocks, $$?

I've used terra cotta flower pots with holes in them. Put them on the side, and put a big rock behind the hole. I've had ABN spawn in this. Then when they turn into wigglers, I put my finger to block the hole, and then use a small fry net to get dad out. This can be hard. I then have a cup of aquari...

ABN with ich?

Hi Folks! Anyone know if ABN can get ich? I bought some albino bushynose pleco's from petco (I know, I know), and one of them has flesh colored spots on its underside. Is this normal?

Re: feeding Zebra plecos

Thanks Mats!! ^:)^ Just read your articles, and have a clearer direction which way I need to go. Can anyone make a recommendation of what would be a good staple food for them?

Re: feeding Zebra plecos

Thanks for the reply Richard! So can I cut a small slab of fish off my dinner portion before cooking and give it to them? If I did this, would it matter the source of the fish? (ie freshwater vs. marine). Would they be able to handle tilapia but not saltwater species?

feeding Zebra plecos

Will be getting a group of four. Was wondering if there are any good frozen or dry foods that I can feed them that aren't bloodworms? I have a severe bloodworm allergy, and was searching the site for alternatives. All I can find are bloodworms and live foods. Can I go with frozen mysis shrimp or fro...
