very cool tanks and i can't believe they didn't break in transit.

I recently had a thread titled something like new gold nugget, sorry i should have put an L number. :ymblushing: Also I did ask re food and temp, and i had read everything on this site and thru googling prior, and i have been keeping pl*cos for a few years now, I just wanted to know from people who ...

ohh ok thanks

sorry just re read, a few weeks thank you

thanks, he looks so small in his big tank lol just goes around checking stuff out , lots of caves and driftwood and plants and river stones and slate , sand bottom. I hope he makes it. crossing fingers , he is a beauty last night he ate his algae wafer and an earthworm stick. when can i try some fru...

who all is in the tank with them, other fish wise,

what size tank

i am keeping him/her at 84 degrees, is this ok, or lower it ?

I would stick to one proven food, Hikari algae wafers, for a few weeks until the fish gets its strength back and can be introduced to the main tank.

done. thank you racoll

yes I feel like that alot also, if I do not take them home soon they will perish in the store tank. Is why i try to order all fish supplies on line! =)) My gold nugget is still here, eating and looking good. He really went to town on the algae covered stones and he also likes the shrimp pellets and ...

hi! pretty pl*co , hope he makes it!

first thing i look to with not acting/looking right is water quality.

1/4 water change every mos seems way not enough to me, I agree with Mats.

I change 50% water every 4th day on all my tanks. Just got into the habit of it.

Welcome Ruud!!

thanks guys, Mats, he had been in shop for 2 weeks or so, not long enough i know, my bad for taknig him home, they feed one HIkari algae tab a day they said, he was with one other gold nugget in tank. he is alone in his tank so should be easy to tell if he is eating, well alone except for some MTS F...

haven't posted in awhile. Just wanted to say hi and i decided to try another Baryancistrus. last time i tried a L239 and he didnt make it out of QT. I was very sad and have stayed away from the barrys. Went to get some frozen fish food and fell in want with a gold nugget. He's in QT. Seems fine, so ...

great pics!! beauty fish!!

hmmm , maybe as babies they are more straight? mine is a bit more wavy per say.

let me scope mine out right now.

you need to continue doing water changes, remembering to add in the decholorinator and remembering to keep the temp of water going in as close to temp of water that came out, keep doing partial water changes to keep the Ammonia and Nitrite at or below 0.25 ppm, while the tank does it's mini cycle. I...

it's beautiful!

i agree , looks just like my chocolate zebra aka l270

lol, also if mine was in fact a L270

my otos like zuchinni, mushroom, bell pepper strips (only red, orange, or yellow)cucumber, melon,papaya, mango, romaine lettuce. I have seen them on it all eating. for prepared foods they liek hikari just about everything, Hikari algae wafers, Hikari sinking tropical,Hikari defrosted frozen (bloodwo...

he is very pretty. what are his fav foods so far?

how are your fish doing these days?

wish i lived on the other side of the pond

20 longs are an icredible perfect tank size, my fav

wow, that's beautiful!!

I put single male bettas in my tens. sand substrate, driftwood, smooth river rocks, small, live plants: java fern, java moss, anubias nana, crypts, anachrius, water wisteria. Soft tall fake plants. I have always thought a ten gal would look pretty with a school of neons in there. Sand plants driftwo...

he is a real beauty

who has been shredding his tail

when my big guy, common pl*co, was small to medium sized , he would move back and forth, like if you're looking at him head on, he would move left right left right like tilt his body one side next side.

He was excited or prepping to eat. no fighting.

Just my experience with side to side

welcome! i love the pandas also. well i love all catfish

this was a fish caught by angling, rapped on the head to kill it but it is still half alive.

jesus, poor thing
