Re: Juwel 3d plastic background for royal plecos

They'll slowly strip off the paint and maybe even eat through it.
They destroyed all the fiber glass turtle docks and floating logs we had in one if the tank with them.

You can try it but IME it doesn't last.

Re: Royal Panaque lovers.. questions for you!

IME they start to grow at around 9"-10"TL where they're clearly visible.
Usually at 6"-7"TL you can see small ones starting to grow.

They usually grow back if they are kept in good conditions and fed well.

I'm not sure about males only growing them.

It's could possibly be Tocantins which I'm leaning towards but with all the different tapajos types poping up it could possibly be tapajos type. I'm pretty sure it's not araguaia unless it's a complete odd ball. The mouth shot doesn't help tr...

Re: Panaque l-190 together with polypterus endlicheri ???

I personally have never had any except for a lapradei and it was very docile just like most senegals. My brother had a large group of endlis they were constantly on the hunt and they were mean. He lost a few fish to them of almost equal size. I'm not saying all of them are like this aggression can v...

Re: Panaque l-190 together with polypterus endlicheri ???

The problem isn't the plecos. Those endlis grow real fast and are very aggressive. They try to eat anything that fits in their mouth. They also do death rolls like crocs and gators to rip off chunks. They will out grow the Panaque in no time if they're healthy and kept well. Ive never seen a mark or...

P. Titan have broken lines as well. Pattern varies from fish to fish. When you have both types in front of you it's very easy to tell them apart. Trying to ID through pics is not always easy.
