Ive had him for a few
Months now , i usually see him on the glass but i dont see him wating sinking pellets i drop into the tank. He is in the tank with 2 blue eyed bn , cories , swordtails and angelfish. Does he look ok? Any tips?

So far my 2 plecos each have their own caves now. Have not seen much of the l048 though.

This is him in his cave.

finally added my L048 into the ray tank, but noticed its sticking to the sides of the tank and not using a cave.
should i be worried?

sorry misread his message
In my pond i have it almost bare bottom to make cleaning easier.
I have 2 biG PVC pipes, and one flow pot which holds the water lily.

I think i can add a few big driftwoods.

thanks. I'll try to give them a few more caves

Here's the tank. Its a 4x2x2 with only small caves for pleco

Would like to get your opinions on putting my L048 into my ray tank with my L014. I feel my L014 has grown quite nicely in my ray tank , I frequently feed massivore pellets to my rays , and rays are really messy eaters. I feel my l014 has grown quite nicely in their tank. Will it work if i add in my...

Can you provide more hiding places and decor to break up territories in the pond? Thanks, I have huge driftwoods and lots of hiding place in my tank. but during feeding time, they'll chase the other plecos around :D also I have some small l24s in another tank, a little worried if i add those in. wi...

they are quite rowdy in my pleco tank and would go after my other smaller plecos.
do you guys think i can put them with stingrays?

or will they be better off in the pond?

thanks I have 2 Blue eyed bristlenose in another tank, was thinking they will fir in with my Hypans

thanks These L24s grow so slow , my L160 seem to be growing fast.

I have a pair of L160 pleco, current size is about 6-7 inches. will they survive in fishpond? i have a 2000 gallon arowana pond which has 2 pieces 14 inch or bigger Gibbicep pleco. do you guys think the L160s can survive in my pond? i dont think they'll be in any danger from the arowanas. but I dont...

thanks! i have some bigger tanks, but they are so small now. I'm worried they wont be able to compete with my bigger plecos for food.

Can i breed L316 pleco in 35 gallon tank?
also will they breed if i have some blue eye lemon bristlenose in with them in the tank?

Just bought a big driftwood for my pleco tank.
is there a possibility of pleco getting stuck inside caves?

my plecos are L600, L160, L24, L048, L273, L114.

here's the big drifwood.

I have 5 pcs L316 can see maybe 3 females and 2 males.
can they breed with other fish around?
planning to add them into my bristlenose tank.

i have 4 pieces Blue eyes Britlsenose.

i will get rid of the swordtails.
can they breed with other fish around?

thanks , will add the terbais into my Pseuda and angelfish tank

Anybody here keeping Pseudas with their cories? I have some Psuedas and would like to add some cories into their tank. do you guys see any problem? will pseudas bully cories? how about with rays> i have some stingrays. was thinking if i can add my 6 inch L160 into their tank. the l160 is too big to ...

Planning to separate some l24s to growout.
they are about 3 inchers.
planning to put them in a 35 gallon with lots of caves.
but planning to just use sponge filters as tank filter.
do you guys think 2 sponge filters will be able to handle bio load from these guys?

thanks:) i don't see them much as they are in hiding while day, but the other day i saw one which i think has grown an inch so though of netting them in to basin with their aquarium water, maybe can also inspect for health problems .

Anybody here take their fish out and put in a smaller container for picture taking and also tracking growth? I don't see my plecos much . I'd like to have some pictures for documenting their growth too

any tips? planning to scoop them into a small white basin and take their pictures.

Hi I was able to get 2 pieces L160 yesterday, they are about 4-5 inches. Would like to ask for help with sexing them .

Feed too much they get fat.
They always like current.

thanks Just waiting for their new tank I'll add a small wave maker

hehehe also can l25 or l24 be fed tetra bits and algae wafers?

Btw just curious, can l25 fry survive on algae wafer diet and tetra bits? Orndo they need meat in their diet?

I currently have a 3 inch l48, 2.5 inch L114, 5 inch l24 in my tank. planning to move them to a bigger tank. will they be better with substrate? or will bare bottom with Driftwod and caves be enough? also do they like current? planning to add in a small wave maker pointed downwards if it would make ...

thanks Did not buy the piece anymore, as i think I wont be able to raise it

In general all Pseudacanthicus fry are sensitive until the are over 2". I prefer to sell larger an 2.25". Doesn't sound like much until you know that that takes several months. At the size you are asking about why will add to their new environment in 1-2 days or they will be dead, usually...

I have a friend selling his L25, but it is only 1 - 1.5 inch really really small.
are they are to raise and really sensitive at this size?
or will there be a chance i can raise it?

i'm able to keep bigger plecos. and bristlenose this size. but been reading L25 will be fragile at this size?
