Sorry, I changed where I was storing the photos and I believe everyone should be able to see the pictures now.

I am needing to get my garage back to normal so I am closing down my fish room. I am hoping for someone to just be interested in getting a great deal for everything versus doing everything individually. Items are for pickup in Fort Wayne, IN.
Here is a list of the plecos I still have. All are Wild ...

Looks like a great start! I don't work at a fish store anymore but something like this would have been great! Also, when you see a fish in a store your not familiar with, just scan the code and you can find out what it might feed on, how to sex them, how they spawn, etc... Pretty cool

The only ...

Went fishing with a neighbor on his Bass boat and managed to catch a nice pike.

Very nice pictures! Wish I could take such nice pictures of my plecos.

The problem I have with most of these type of products is the water temperature sensors. They just don't hold up when you use RO water to keep the parameters on the acidic side.

Based on this statement "The sensor leads of the water presence sensor and the probe tip of the waterproof temperature ...

I have used it on the front of my tanks on the bottom of the racks to keep the fish from getting spooked as well.

The kind I purchased uses static electricity and stays put just fine.

Came across this picture gallery on the web and saw this catfish. I didn't see it in the catelog and thought it may be of some interest.

You have to scroll to picture 5 of 8.

I agree that they do not look like L316.

Looks very probable to me. These nicely colored ones pop up from time to time in aquarium fry but are pretty rare.

Reminds me of a shark and a remora.

Congrats. Nothing beats a new species spawn!

I'd have to agree. IMO, a sale post like this isn't shouting at anyone. Its formatting.

The idea behind a thin layer of sand is the detritus stays on top so all you have to do is siphon of the stuff on the top. You don't shove the siphon in the sand like you would with gravel. I sometimes will even use a large turkey baster to suck off the detritus as it usually collects in just a few ...

Easy to overlook things in threads but he already knows the father is L411.

The picture isn't the best is the reason I have not replied. From what I see I'd say a male but a shot of the entire genital would be the best.

Very nice videos. That sure is a lot of fry.

Also very interesting you're using a clay vase as a breeding cave. Thanks for sharing.

and my are my favorite. I like both of their personalities and the dozen orange lasers swimming around in a group is pretty cool to watch.

Glad to have you. Sounds like you'll fit right in.

The body looks like Contradens but the spot pattern doesn't. I've not seen spots that close and irregular to one another on a contradens. And the spot color doesn't quite fit either.

From first pic. Id say the top left 2 are female. The 2 across the bottom are male. And I'm unsure about the top right one but leaning on male.

To assist you with aquarium problems people are going to need a little more information.

Temperature, Tank Size, Filters, your Maintenance routine, results from any test you may have taken, how long has the tank been running?

What type of Tetras have you had problems with?

Pictures can help to ...

That is a nice collection. You must have some big tanks. You should definitely share some pics.

Looking at the Back to Nature Guide I'd have to say . According to the book it is usually incorrectly labeled as L163 in trade so very possible many of the pictures in the cat-elog are mislabeled as well.

It has some information.

Ingo's book is a great book that every pleco person should have in their library, IMO.

Wow, those do look stunning.

You didn't say what species they were however? I see why they are your favorite. You might change the title to "My new (species name)"

Glad everything arrived OK. Looks like its coming along very nicely!

I really like what you did with the branches.

You guys make some good points regarding a true biotype. I was mearly trying to give him some ideas of other fish from the Xingu Basin but there are many bio-types in that area. I guess exasperatus2002 needs to tell us what part of the Xingu basin he's interested in.

I'm pretty sure I've seen pics ...

Here is a good article on PFK. Lots of different things on there.

I think a 75 Gallon would be the best giving you 18" depth. The plecos don't seem to spook near as much in the deeper tanks and allows more options with decorating. Discus ...

What size tank are you planning on setting up?
