Great photos!

Got to love those Cherry Shrimp!

If you are looking for a source of income, a calendar might be a better idea. A monthly look at one fish X 12 months.

"Pretty chuffed about it " Is that some Canadian expression unknown to us Southerners?

-Barry

Poss. trans?

No peduncles but continuing in and out behavior.

None seen. I guess that it was just a dry run.

I don't understand. The fish that I believe to be the male, spooked and left while the one I think is female has stayed in the cave.

Good shot of the male genetalia

I have a bunch of movies and still photos but I'm having trouble uploading. Please, what is the size limits of .MOV files?

I've had the L271s since 11-8-17. A week ago I observed a large female spending time in a clay tube. Yesterday a male came a courting.

Sorry, but thank you. -Barry

Eric-
Is the Micracanthicus still alive. Please what is the timeline? -Barry

Nicely done! Great pics. and beautiful plecos. -Barry

I have introduced raw corn on the cob (albeit frozen and defrosted) as a new addition to my feeding choices. All strip the corn down to the cob in a few minutes. -Barry

HaakonH-
Nothing short of spectacular! Well done. Is your Hypancistrus lunaorum really green? -Barry

Well done! Keep us informed. -Barry

Considering the company they keep- I'd suggest 89 degrees F.

Thanks to all for the advice. -Barry

I was just informed that Freshwater Exotics <info@freshwaterexotics.com> has received a new shipment of L280. Great price as well!
-Barry

I will be leaving town for ten days. My wife has no interest in my plecos. I have reduced the temp from 89 degrees F. to 80
degrees F. to lessen evaporation and feeding. What do others do under similar circumstances?

Since I haven't seen any dead plecos, nor any eaten areas of the apricot, I must surmise that they can sense in some fashion, as Darrel points out- some negative attribute of the apricot wood.

Jobro- Yes- I will augment the denuded pomegranate with fresh pieces. My thanks to all. -Barry

So the cry shall be "let them eat wood!"

I have four pleco tanks. two are heavier into wood eaters. All have green pomegranate wood and a small amount of apricot wood. Noone eats the apricot wood but all pieces of pomegranate wood have been stripped of bark. Should I try to have the wood eaters eat the inner pomegranate wood or replace wit...

Who is "Shrimp Fever"? Thanks. -Barry

We will be in Netanya in two weeks. We'll check out the Golan. Any really good fish stores that we should not miss?

For what it is worth- I put 5-6 " of my wife's Pathos (no leaf polish) in each of my tanks..... no problems.

Yes indeed! When I put water melon rind into the tanks, they strip it clean.

I have both forms of L200 and have never seen the High Fins eat worms when offered. For them, I rotate squash, dried (non-sulfered) mango slices, algae spirolina tablets, Repashy Superfoods Soilent Green Gel, Repashy Super Green, sweet potatoe slices, etc. -Barry
