Title: Your Pleco's
Post by: Panda_cory on May 30, 2013, 12:12:40 pm
There aren't enough pics of pleco's for my liking. Post pics of any pleco's you have. I will start it with my Sultan Pleco.

And I have a Breeding pair of Albino Bristlenose, so here is some young (http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w514/panda_cory/Tropical%20fish%20forum%20resize/4c82031c-6ef5-4a2f-8e55-d6a95fa83fef_zps0b34703e.jpg) (http://s1079.photobucket.com/user/panda_cory/media/Tropical%20fish%20forum%20resize/4c82031c-6ef5-4a2f-8e55-d6a95fa83fef_zps0b34703e.jpg.html)
Here's the female (http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w514/panda_cory/IMGP0111_zps0aaaa1ee.jpg) (http://s1079.photobucket.com/user/panda_cory/media/IMGP0111_zps0aaaa1ee.jpg.html)
Unfortunately I don't have a decent pic of the male, so will have to get one.

Beautiful Pleco.
You do get so attached to them, don't you.
I find Pleco have such quirky temperaments. Mine are hilarious at feeding time. They all come out front, but if one gets spooked, they all spook each other!

Love this Pleco, my lfs has some in, at around £44 I think. If you dont mind me asking, how much was your's?
If I remember correct he was about £35 but I've only ever seen them at this particular LFS once so may be they sold him cheaper than they should lol I am sure I've seen them at MA for thirty odd quid :) I think may well have to get another one when the main tank is back up and running :)

You don't mind if I ask what happened to him?

In all honesty I have no idea :( came one from work one day to find him pale and not himself......did a water check ad nitrates were high but not rediculous, did a water change 50% but he died he next day :( He was 3 1/2 years old no idea how long they live to be honest though.....any ideas??

Lovely :) What are the white spots on your bogwood dee??
I'd guess nerite eggs

I have absolutely no idea! They appeared about 3 years ago, are impossible to remove and cause no harm so I've just left them.

I have those exact spots on my wood which appeared after I put them in the water, and I took photos and the MA where I bought them said they had been used in a killifish breeding tank, and apparently to hatch killifish eggs you have to dry them, and re add them to water, and MA reckon that the eggs hatched in my tank and left those marks. They are impossible to clean off. Not sure how accurate that is, but whatever they are, they are exactly the same as on my wood.
