Just stopping by to hello from PA

I have been a closet pleco fan for several years. My initial tank was a 150 full of plecos that I got when owned a pet store here in Philadelphia (By Land & Sea Pets and Supplies, Inc...RIP)

Currently I have a 90 gallon bow front with the following:

L001 - Pterygoplichthys joselimaianus
L007 - Leporacanthicus cf. galaxies 1 juv & 1 Adult
L014 - Scobinancistrus aureatus
L015 - Peckoltia vittata
L022 - Pterygoplichthys joselimaianus
L042 - Rineloricaria cf. platyura
L047 - Baryancistrus sp.
L049 - Peckoltia sp.
L066 - Hypancistrus sp.
L083 - Pterygoplichthys gibbiceps
L083 - Pterygoplichthys gibbiceps (Albino)
L091 - Leporacanthicus triactis (RIP) Recently lost this but I got a line another. 
L114 - Pseudacanthicus leopardus
L128 - Hemiancistrus sp. (L128)
L137 - Hypostomus soniae
L144 - Ancistrus sp. (L144)
L169 - Panaque sp. (L169)
L187 - Chaetostoma pearsi
L204 - Panaque sp. (L204)
L239 - Ancistrini sp. (L239)
L260 - Hypancistrus sp. (L260)
L264 - Leporacanthicus joselimai

I also have an albino chocolate pleco that I could not locate an L number for.
I have a few more but they are in hiding, but since I am doing a water change today I am going to try and do a good head count for who is also in the tank. I might need help with identification on some of the others I that I have put in and forgot about..

I will post pictures when I have them ready.

I feed algae flakes and wafers, cucumbers, zucchini, romaine lettuce, black worms, and I am just starting to look at feeding some of them prawns or krill.

Any other suggestions for foood?

Pterygoplichthys pardalis

From the Cat-eLog......

An amelanistic form has also been fixed by US and SE Asian commercial fish farms and is commonly sold as the "chocolate pleco." As they are bred in huge numbers by commercial fish farms, this is currently the most commonly available loricariid and can be found for sale in nearly all the larger chain-type pet stores
