I am going to try and vacuume every day and see if that is easier then vacuuming for over an hour once a week.

I have two large wood eating pleco tanks.A 450 and a 265 gallon tank.I find myself vacuuming poop every 5 days? I would love to hear everyone's tricks for cleaning up after these wood eating poop machines. I do have the out takes of the filters all going in the same direction,making a calm spot for ...

Mine are growing an inch a year maybe a bit more.They are also in a 450 gallon tank.I am glad they grow slow unlike my adontis pleco.

Anyone here keep these guys?I looked at there information but i could not find much.I am attempting to breed these in a very large tank.Any advice.

Well i think the spots appear too small?I have bought some LDA33 or so i think and there spots are much bigger and not as many.

Are they even LDA33?

What i find interesting is there is no aggression between him and the normal looking L190's in the tank but the three normal looking L190's do chase each other from time to time.They are all 6 inches.He is very out and about,more so then the others which is nice because he looks so nice.Maybe just a...

Maybe a L027c?

Great thread!!Congratulations.I have found all this information very helpful as i have just put together a group of 10 large adult L-240 in a 5x3x2 foot tank.Thanks again,keep up the good work.

it was re posted by accident,its his only one,so far.

yes that thread is this same fish.He came from snookn21 and color has been like this all along.

Please excuse the camera hog,L56 that always sneaks in my photos.

I just picked this guy/girl up.He is just awesome.Bright white and black like a platinum.I was lucky to have placed him/her into his new tank next to a normal colored royal to get these pictures.This fish really is something.These are in a 450 gallon tank.

My huge rhino pleco who thinks he should be hand fed spinach every night

i have L257 not the same fish as this one.

i have about 1200 gallons in a small one bedroom apartment,good thing i am in a garden/basement apartment.

It is crazy how many plecos look so close to one another.I think it is a L129?Very pretty fish.

I will keep you all updated as well as my other large pleco tank which is a 4.5x4.5x2.5 cube.

gotcha,i am just trying to avoid any hanky panky between the ones i choose.

Thanks everyone who has answered.I should have mentioned that i have many tanks already running with many plecos.I have groups of L134,L199,L129,L240,L201,L205,L208,L255,LDA33,and more.Which of these would you try together,maybe just two kinds?If my other breeding project wasn't breeding azul peacoc...

I would like to breed a few species in a large tank together?My tank is 5x3x2 that is feet.Will this even work?What are a few kinds that would go well together?If it turns out this is a bad idea i would like to try to breed just L240 in the tank,How many would be a good number?Thank you for your hel...

i will ask it to smile.

Thanks Matt.
I have the worst camera skills as well as being in a very dark basement apartment.I will get a new pic up this week.

I will try and get a better picture.That picture was taken when i first got it.I will say it hangs out in or around a cave all day.

I believe this is just an odd spotted galaxy.Thoughts?What do you think boy or girl?I have had it for some time.The fish is 8 inches super chunky and has a great personality.

Thanks,Well i suppose it is still an interesting pleco.

The reason i thought they were different was there price,which was 17 bucks.Thanks guys.

its also interesting that the place i bought them from would BS me so much or in this case i believe there supplier BS them and they were just passing on wrong info.

Well it does look very much like that but the colors are not right.I need better pictures i think.

Well i have a strong current but i am sure it is not that strong.I have three fx5's for starters that adds up to a bunch.
