Different Plecos - North Suburbs Chicago

Make an offer. I'm willing to make a drive up to a hour in traffic. Really want to make the tanks less complicated. I'm not accepting lowball offers. Willing to trade for more L204 (5''+) L264, L046, grow lights for indoor gardening. (getting into that hobby) I'm about 15-30 minutes drive from six f...

Re: zamora catfish- North Suburbs of Chicago

No, NVCichlids got em, and they were laying eggs in the container on his trip home. He was able to successfully breed em so not sure if he still has em or not as he moves on to next species. I would love to get em back if I could but just don't have the space I used to have anymore. Nice cats and ho...

Re: same kind of panaques? L271?

Before It was a trio of L271s the female 1 did look like the female 2/male1 a year ago at this date

Oh snap not a good news for me. I'll try to work on that tank tonight if I can. My main suspects is the L271 trio but the L397 has always been next to the male L271 caves since day one no matter how many empty caves were out there/rearranging. They always had caves right next to each other. But L226...

I'm feeling little bit generous today.

If someone purchases the L260 male and picks him up TODAY 5/8/11

I'll donate the half of the cash sale to PCF

Now I have set the price to $200 for this fella. He's now off AB is getting me the wrong type of customers/lowballers. I'm okay with getting a female for him but there are no adult sized females currently available. Am not willing to trade unless its for a L046 (depending on value) or a L204 group. ...

the value of 10 glowlight tetras isn't that much of a value as other plecos might be at the LFS

Re: Rant about ordering fish online from store

The jag cat is healing up along nicely- would be a stunner once fully grown-

ending up putting BNs into the LFS, clowns are still under QT with the jag cat.


So hopefully this is an happy ending for an unhappy beginning

Re: need suggestions for 100gal.........

My answer for the largest cat you can do in a 100g tank depends on its footprint of the tank itself and the size of the tankmates it's going to have. Keep in mind about those two factors when trying to figure out which cat strikes your fancy. Some cats can't be with fish the same size as them as the...
