hello, I wouldn't doubt if it was a L271. a LFS here has been selling them as tiger plecos

it does appear that you have atleast two females. there is one that i see as a possible female that isnt filled with eggs. but it most likely is the way the cory is sitting cause I am only seeing this in the last photo

also on another note I had crossed refferanced these three to the cat-e-log and had figured them to be Panaqulos sp. cf. maccus due to the color pattern of them when I bought them. i had figured there would be some differances in markings of this fish, which there are with the three I have. and on a...

Caol_ila it isnt L204. all three had the white striping when I bought them. I have a feeling this is due to poor feeding practices of the distibuter and the store. I had gotten them out of a tank of clown plecos along with the Ancistomus sp(1) that I have had for a few months now. both of these 2 ha...

I was just reading that post.....lol however I have never seen those in my LFS. and for me I have 2 in town and a total of 6 that I drive a good 2 hours some times to "visit."

Anyone have some names on some mid-water swimming cories? I have heard C. elegans have been known to go mid-water, but is this there normal habit? do they do this in open water or thru plantings? I have 20 C. pygmaeus comeing to me shortly and I have seen them all over the tank in some nice planting...

:lol: I just had to post my reply for this one. I currenly have three of these. They are now around 7cm TL and when I bought them they were around 3cm TL. The reticulated pattern increases as they get larger and that very nice yellow coloration depends on there food. The 2 I have that have taken to ...

Hello Taratron, could it be possible that your bronze cories might be males and saw your brochis as being one heck of an over sized female? or could it be possible that the brochis are not schooling with the bronze (feeling a bit lonely due to there close companion dieing, and needing time to themse...

I am wondering what this one is going to be. I tryed looking for the name posted and some thing tells me this is more of a distination name them a real name for it.


Thanks,
Travis

Kdreymann, what do you mean by heavy waters?

I am aware of the males being territorial. :?: My question is, are the males going to be territorial twords my B. splendens :?: I have a total of 6 B. splendens and would like to pick up a pair of C. barbatus. I know of a breeder that has them pretty small, just to the point of being sexable, and wo...

I had saved the link,from a previous post, for the updates page, and now I am getting an error page saying that the page's address has been moved. Do you have the new address?

If I am remembering what i had read up on B. splendens, they can have anywheres from a nice briliant emerald green to almost a brownish bronze coloration. mine seem to flip flop thru that color range. I am not sure if it has to do with there moods or what I am feeding them that causes the color chan...

Well I hit the jackpot with Ancistomus sp. (1). Just picked 3 more from a local fish store. The store had gotten a very large shippment in last week and i counted a total of 13 in there tanks. :cry: but I didnt have enough to get any more of them. I would love to have a little colony of around 7-8 t...

LOL well all livebearers will do some grazeing on different types of algae. but i stand with what i say on these. the babies do a better job with very small type bacteria and micro-organizems. lol they clear out the tank atlest once a week to every two weeks and i have to do a water change just to c...

T just to let you know there is a fish ou tthere that i think does a better job then any otto or bushy/bristlenose. it is called Giraridinus metallicus (metallic livebarer for short). i have been breeding these for a few years and there tank is in a south window in direct sunlight. they eat any type...

honestly i think it is your cories

no one here has had the chance to keep one of these?

Well I just moved again. Back home with my folks, and lost one of my Brochis :cry:and a paleatus which didnt surprize me with the move I did. it was pretty hard on all my fish, however the rest are looking fine. Taratron, ever think of trying your Brochis with your bronze corys? they might make a ni...

was wondering what an average size for L077 is.

Thanks
Travis

hello again, well it works with mine. I have the wood set up so it covers a good area of the gravel with shade and that is where they spend there time. :lol: also i guess i spend to much time (if there is such a thing) watching my fish due to not working so they are pretty used to me planting my but...

Hi Brian, I found out the hard way something very important to these "cats", :oops: they really do need to be in a somewhat larger grouping. I tryed keeping 2-3 in my tanks for a few years and it never seemed to work out tell some one had brought it up to try a lrager school 6-7, and give ...

"big sigh of releif"....lol nice to know these little buggers are getting around. once again thanks everyone for your help. Love the pics also Jools, nice to know what it is going to turn out to be and Janne, mine has gotten a nice red shine to all of his fins now........ he/she is looking...

Janne, whatever it is, it is a very beautifully marked L? would love to know who you got it from.

maybe not. how do i check? and also the picture showed up as just a red "x" to me

Did you rezize the picture? max 400

hello, I had tried doing as the page stated in attaching my photos and all i got was an image that couldnt be displayed. Did i do something wrong?

I have taken a search for P. brevis and that is not the fish in question. thanks for the possiblity. And by the way if it helps I live in Milwaukee, Wisconsin

hello again Shane keep in mind that when i had gotten mine it only had the smallest of spots on its head. from what i have seen with the clowns i have kept and from photos on the net P. maccus doesnt have these types of spot, they have pretty much a line pattern on there "face"....lol but ...

YES THAT IS IT...lol very nice looking plec. I cant wait tell mine gets to be looking more like that......lol and they way he is growing it might be this winter
