what is it? i cant figure out how to post pics so i'll describe the fish. think it's a pleco. it's small and has spots on its body and stripes on its fins (all white and the body is a dark grey colour...

hey :) thanx for your reply!

well, if you read my other thread you'll see that i have to rehome my pleco cos i cant keep the tank anymore :( there's a guy that will take him but he has a snow king plec, and mine is a common plec. he has other plecos too, and the tank is only 3ft, although it is ...

thanx for all the info. this isnt a wind-up. sorry if any of you took it that way. i just thought it might work. anyhow, it's obvious it's not gonna work and it was a stupid idea...

thanx guys, the thing is i want to make sure he goes to a good home. so i cant take him to a petshop. he's too shy and he'd have nowhere to hide and i just couldnt do that to him

oh, flaming as in mad? nope, flaming would be if i said i won the lottery and i was gonna buy some rain forest and a river to go with it, bring it over here and let my pleco go... ROFL!!!

what's 'flaming'?

well then i'll take him to south america! would it be possible? i mean, would they let me release him there?

thanx racoll

24 views and still no replies? come on guys, someone must be able to advise me on this?

why would you want to do that?

cos i thought it would be a really noble thing to do??? i mean, how amzing would it be to release an animal back into it's natural habitat? where he can have space and freedom?? i don't need to be criticized or attacked by you guys. it was an honest mistake and it's ...

so where are they native to then? i thought they came from thailand? sorry for being so dozy... anyway, no one wants to answer my previous question about who my pleco will and wont get on with, so what am i to do?? a little advice would go a long way!

i want to take my pleco to thailand and let him go in a river over there. does anyone know how i would go about it? what would be the procedure? who could i contact? would he have to go into quarantine?

I have found a potential new home for my common pleco, but the guy I want to give my plec to also has a Snow King plec, a many-rayed, and two others that he hasnt been able to identify. the king plec is 9", my common plec is about 6"... the guy says that all his plecos get on well but I'm scared my ...

i've also just read that i should halve the dose if their are loaches in the tank. do common plecs fall under this category?

i'm about to treat for white spot and the bottle says dont treat if tank contains Mormyrids. can i go ahead and treat? also, added aqua salt tonic to water. the plecos will be ok right? many thanks!

so that doesnt mean i dont have enough oxygen in the water then? i mean, i have a rekord 96 with supposedly the best filter in this range, so i see no need for an extra pump. although i just read somewhere else that if the guppies, which i have- swim againt the current towards the filter then there ...

i have two small common plecs, well, not too sure how big they get, but these look like babies, bout an inch or two inches big. and every now and then they dash up to the surface and then zoom back down again. it's so fast if u blink you'll miss it. why are they doing this? is there something wrong ...

thanx for that
