they are very beautiful but quite slow in growth rate

sometimes even exporters themselves.. dont condition them well.. so as soon as they arrive they are pretty much banged up, and is very hard to re-condition..

its really quite hard to condition a plec that is not well.. especially when it doesnt want to feed on anything..

for me, i boil the lettuce so it would sink And they really love them

yup they are common plecs.. they grow very big!!!

if you want u could transfer the fry to a separate tank, with good filtration adn aeration. feed them with lettuce. and do water change every other day or every day.. goodluck

thats a beautiful L144 are the L144 and L144a the same? do they just differ in coloration?

yep it looks like a peckoltia brevis

looks like a maccus

beautiful I havent seen an L200 that big.. the biggest i had was around 5.5inches

yep.. goldfish arent ideal with plecs.. base from experience.. we had a mistake of putting all our newly arrived L24 and L25 to a pond with goldfishes which were newly arrived also.. And suddenly all the plecs died the day after, I guess the dirt level was too high and that goldfishes require salt w...

yep bristlenose will do as long as he is big enough not to be bullied

definitely a L134.. there are plenty of different patterns for the 134.. some are very very beautiful adn unique

try to look for good quality L177 from the batch.. bec. based from experience its quite hard to get them back to health especially when they were newly imported..

lz it looks like either a panaque sp. or a cochliodon sp.

indeed L25s are truely very beautiful.. Sometimes the body itself will turn reddish

I have 3 L95.. and they are indeed very beautiful and peaceful. they kinda swim gracefully and ive never seen them being aggresive

hi not being negative but thats kinda the same disease that hit my tank last month.. except that your plec doesnt have white patches on the body

usually with the proper care.. the redness of the L25 will slowly come out :) I had two 15inch scarlet.. but sad to the say the other one jumped out of the tank.. while the other one is now with an asian arowana and is very much doing fine.. and the redness of the fins and body are slowly becoming m...

are they possible to breed? I have 2 11inches and an 14inch.. but all look like females no odontodes.. havent checked the ondontodes on the gills though..

almost all loricariids need wood.. Its better to provide them some even a small wood only for them to chew and to hide..

mine likes to devour shrimps..

hi i agree with yann.. if its an L191 it kinda lacks the green coloring.. nywasy your kinda lucky to have L27b bec. i heard that they are quite difficult to get..

thnks yann... i think that red marks were the cause of both.. plecs that were weaken where chewed by other plecos and then bacterial infection occurred.. Anyways.. the tank now is stable.. i just kinda lost alot olready..

a male ancistrus has plenty of bristle.. while females tend to have none to some slightly in the mouth area.. but there should be none in the head area..

yep it looks like its edited or that would have been a hell of a mutation..

yep yann there were blood marks on where there waws white markings..

has anyone heard of an ancistrus named barbusca? Cuz a friend of mine imported some and as to my surprise they look like ancistrus with yellow spots and the female have small gold spots.. And the male kinda looks like that..

hi all, well there seems to be reddening of the body parts.. ph crash is a possibility but i doubt it, because I tend to water change thrice a week, so my water quality seems to be pretty good.. Actually fungal infection is my best bet.. i just dont know how it hit the tank, since there wasnt any ne...

yep lloks like an inspector or an scobinancistrus
