I just got a PM from someone, I'm not gonna name him, but he told me that according to Ingo Seidel, they are not L236 and not from Iriri, they are more beautiful than L236 and quite rare. Anyway, thanks for the help, I actually sent a picture to Ingo last night, but haven't gotten reply back from ...

Actually, a friend of mine is good friend of the owner. He is offering him the frys from the ones pictures above. The reason I asked is, even the owner himself is kinda not sure anymore, after being told that they are not L236, collection point is Rio Iriri.

Can anyone ID this pleco for me? I can get them, labeled as L236, but not sure if it is. Thanks.

Thanks for the offer, just looking out for everyone. I noticed it when someone pointed he's auction for an L25 and having 0/0 and being in the same location as the one on PF, not having a picture, but instead, a planetcatfish picture.. Then I ran into your auction and saw him bidding on your auction ...

I think that is the same guy that posted this on PF.

Ok, I'll try that..Thanks..

I got a question, when does the male starts growing small odontodes along their back between the dorsal fin and caudal peduncle? I have a dozen wild caught in ranges of 3.0" to 3.25" and none of them seems to have any odontodes growth along their back. Also, I noticed that all of them likes to hang ...

Yes, I'm planning to put them in a bigger tank in the future. I have a chance to pick up some 2-3 inchers for a real good price, just wanted to know if I can have more than 1, thinking of getting 4. Also, what's the right temp and how many times do you feed it a week? I heard people saying 3 times a ...

I was just wondering, how many can you put in a 120 gallon tank? Can you put more than 1 in a tank? Or would they kill each other?

I need a matured male Zebra pleco (L-046), will trade for a group of 8 matured L-271. PM me and see what we can work on, thanks..

I have 9 of these, it was sold to me as L-333 Yellow King Tiger..

I agree with Jon, L-270.

Like I said, sorry to hear about the losses of such a beautiful pleco, which are hard to come by now a days.

I hate to say these, but I did warned you over our conversations before you even got the fish about treating them.. Out of all the plecos I have, L-260 are notorious for having lice and other parasites. Sorry to hear about your losses.

L-333.. I have some of the same pattern and color.

I have 7 wild L-204 (Flash pleco) for $175.00, they range in size from 2.5" to 4.0", pick up is available in Carson/Long Beach, SoCal area.. Shipping is available, email me your zip code.

Ok, I'm willing to sell these group for $280.00, shipping can be arrange within continental U.S..

Got another male guarding some eggs, amazing how I got 2 spawns in a same tank in a week.

Can someone please give me an accurate inside diameter cave size for the following plecos, I am going to make some caves, I everything I need to make them. Please give me the sizes on the ones were you have been successful breeding..

L-134
L-66
L-333
L-260
L-201
L-270
L-46
L-271
L-204

These are ...

I will go ahead and file up some slates in there with some gaps just enough for the frys to hide.. I checked out the caves earlier and they all seem to be doing well, I've seen them moving now, all the eggs have hatched.. Male is doing a good job for a first timer, unless I missed him spawn before..

Thanks, Andrew.. Would the other L-66 mess with the frys as soon as they leave the cave? I have about 10 adults in there..

I've seen and read all those articles already. Theres no other occupant in the tank, but the KT/L-66. I keep all my plecos on their own tank..

How long does it take before the eggs hatches? I was about to rearranged my L-66 tank, but to my suprised, theres eggs in there, should I removed them or let the male take care of of them? They look like they're fertile, it's gotta nice greenish color to them..

I got this pleco as L-333 Alenquer, but look at the rest, it doesn't look like the others.. Look at the eye also..

I have a group of 8 wild caught adult L-271 (2 males and 6 females), they are hardly imported. asking $400.00 for the group, pick up prefered. Long Beach, Ca. area..

Is there a link or a thread on sizes of caves that people uses, if not, can we make a thread, maybe? Please note the L number or what kind of pleco, what kind of caves, sizes (Length, width and height). I have all type of caves and I wanna build some also.

Would they use a cave to spawn?

How did you sex yours? What size are they?

Mine are all between 4 to 5", I'll take pictures of them once I transfer them.
