I've had nothing but problems with the power compacts with melted housings and cooked ballasts. Even the receptacles for the bulbs cracked in one case. I quickly moved away from these to T5 and then T5HO and now almost all my tanks are running LED's. I think the PC's generate way too much heat for ...

I'd like to know too. Mine has only eaten the algae off the glass.

I have a zebra tat on my lower leg. You need a side profile for the tat or it won't look right. I wanted to get a 260 but I was told the same thing about the bleeding.

Would the plecos even use a clear cave?

Thanks everyone. I'm glad I asked because I had it backwards.

Really? Because I thought it was the opposite. I thought the skinny one with the longer nose would be the male.

Can you help sex my Red Lizards?

It looks like a male to me too.

The Ph is 7 and the Tds is 396 ppm. I just did a 20% WC and filled it up with RO/DI water.

The tank is a 20 gal long with a thin layer of Eco complete. Filtered with an aquaclear 50 and a large sponge filter. The temp is 80 and I use tap water. I'm not sure how many 183s are in there, maybe 8 or 9 and a pair of unknown hypans as well as 5 sterbai corys. I will try and measure the water pa...

They look like they could be L260 to me.

You can replicate the natural environment with out having to use this soil. (I am assuming thats your line of thought). Maybe share some more info on the breeding set up, water conditions, feeding regime etc and the massive amount of experience on this site should be able to help you out. I'll post...

Does anyone use Ada Amazonia for their plecos? I've had my L183s spawn 3 times now but haven't had any surviving fry. I was wondering if using Amazonia might help. Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Any news on the C. Hastatus?

I agree

Very nice!

Very nice!

I've tried all 4 types and my fish eat it eventually but they don't really seem to care for it.

I have endlers, corries and cherry shrimp in with my breeding group of L260s.

The tail looks a little to forked to me to be L333.

It looks like it has a caved in belly in the reflection.

No one has any opinion on this fish?

I've ordered from Spencer a few times too.

Does this look like Hypancistrus Sp. Garupa? The net is 4"x6" and the fish is about 3" tl. http://img.tapatalk.com/4ac60995-1fed-a2a8.jpg http://img.tapatalk.com/4ac60995-1ffd-7719.jpg http://img.tapatalk.com/4ac60995-2085-52e9.jpg http://img.tapatalk.com/4ac60995-2093-d921.jpg http:/...

I lost one today. They don't seem to be eating. I've been giving them veggie and spirulina sticks. I'm going to try some zucchini today.

They are almost the same size as the shrimp only slightly smaller.
