I've never seen one that is white and black. I've seen about 30 specimans in total.

Well, according to this link:

The can go 100 cm deep

If its like Walking With Dinos, does that mean that it will be on the Discovery Channel in the US?

Welcome to the forum. Do you do any wild collection of plecos in Florida? I'd like to give that a shot one day

They charge $79.99 per gold nugget here in Hawaii at the LFS since they are illegal to import. I dont know how they get them in, but they sell quick at that price. I really want some but im not about to pay Zebra pl*co prices for them. So (Hint) if anyone was to accidentally shipped me a package of...

The only thing is possibly an otto, but they like to be in groups. How about something like a gold snail that you see at the LFS, I think that they are called mystery snails.

Thanks - i'll give them a call. we have a 6ft x 2 ft x 2 ft tank with Discus so i thinks a nice goldie will fit in well - lots of bogwood to live in etc.... Do you have plants in there? I kept a goldy with my discus in a 110 gallon, but it kept knocking down my plants (unintentionally, not to eat t...

The 2nd looks like a female to me, but I am not certain.

I'm not sure of the conversion, but those would go for any where from $60 - $100 each here. Of course, its all really about supply and demand.

Hi all,
I've updated my website with some discus pics. Please check it out and sign the guest book: http://www.waterhyacinths.com
Thanks,

And the lfs that got these for me says they will take all I can produce. The owner admits not knowing much about them and doesn't believe I can get them to spawn. You didn't happen to pick that pair up on a trip to New Orleans did you? Just curious because I gave an LFS here a pair and noticed they...

I really think that your aquarum is too small for one Gibby, let alone 2.

I've heard both. Personally, I think its just another name for a Gibby.

I would try bloodworms or blackworms. Most of the meat eating plecos love these things.

I found this link on the aquaria central forum website:

I believe that Royals are one of the more territorial species. Make sure that you have enough space, hiding spots, an lots of driftwood.

Is this one that you are thinking about getting as mentioned in other threads, or is this the one that died?

Just curious, but where is Cumbria?

IMO, they grow pretty slowly, at least the ones that I have had. Never kept them that long though as I switched to other species.

Nice pics. I didn't think the Baryancistrus species had been spawned before in captivity. Anyone know of any other captive spawns of the gold nugget types?

Edit: Now I see its not a Baryancistrus species. But still, do these breed in captivity all that often?

I think that there should be a warning on this thread about the graphic nature of this footage. I wouldn't want any children seeing this kind of movie. Especially with that music in the background.

Great news. Were they fertile last time?

L14 is what I immediately thought of as well. Best of Luck. You could also try Royals, but htere are so many varieties its tough to get 2 of the same kind.

My email was answered today. Here it is: Hi Clay, I really don't know, since they are hiding somewhere. The last time I saw them clearly was two months ago (sized about 2.5 cm) and the size of the head seemed like a Panaque to me. Once I get another glance of them, I will definitely take some shots ...

Anybody know of any updates to this story? I emailed the guy the other day but no response as of yet.

I found this on aquriacentral, which links to the predatory fish forum, so I guess this is third hand info:

Nice pics though:)

Since there bristlenoses, they were probably bred in captivity, so an aquarium set up like the bottom of the amazon would probably be foreign to them. If you really want them to be at home, perhaps you should set up a bare bottom tank ;)

J/K I say go for the amazonian set up!

Congrats!!! That is great news

This one is preety good. When I go to Houston, I usually stop by:
http://www.fishrushouston.com

I believe it is a little bit North of the Woodlands, but not to far

Of course, the pleco selection probably doesn't match what you can get

I have had no success with gold nuggets what so ever. I have had success with goldies (L-14). I find these to be even prettier fish, except they do get to be a foot long. I just traded mine into the LFS, as I am in the process of switching over to a planted aquarium, and this fish had a tendency to ...
