He wants comments on Pics 3-7

I personally agree with TKP. He is an extremely experienced pleco keeper, and know alot about plecos. You can just tell from how healthy each and everyone og his plecos are that he knows what he is doing. One cannot tell if a tank is overcrowded or not by looking at some pics, U have to be the keepe...

L-128

Oh, It doesn't really mean neon Indian Monk.... The first 2 chracters kind of means neon, but it is neon red, or bright red. The last two is a common name for pleco.


I am a member of the forum with the yellow coloration pleco... and TKP is the forum master there, it is a great forum.

L-262!! nice!

I am 90% sure it is a L-90c! Nice fish nevertheless!

TKP, I till think it is L-236

L-264, looks about 1-2 inches only!

Yup, I think LiSCN is right!

My friend also bought one a while ago... I think this also is the same fish:

NO, pretty sure it is not a L-270~

I am keeping 2 young pairs of discus, 5 large bleeding heart tetras, 7-8 rummy nose and 10 Cardinal tetras with mine... I also keep about 15 corys and 2 doradid with my plecs. They live very well together and never attack eachother (only amongst themselves if ever)

A. hystrix should not cost too much... However not a cheap pleco either. They are worth much more than A. adonis cause they become very cool looking fish when hey grow large. They are meat eaters, but like all plecs, they would eat nearly all food given... Very hardy, but very aggressive indeed!

Some of the plecs in the last pic looks very similar to L-270...

Ha ha ha!!! Well........

ALl I know is that he uses a top filter, undergravel and a large canister. Is it over stocked?? I have no idea bout African fish ...

This is the tank I was talking about:

Image can be enlarged still...

I have a friend who has a 48inch tank and he keeps African chiclids of all sort. He has 40 plecos!! The pH is 7.6-7.8 and they are all living very well. Just need to beware of super small plecos! 2 other friends also keep African fish, specially Frontosa with plecos!

polkadot:

Oh don't you worry!! Adonis grows VERY quickly!!! It is the fastest growing pleco in my tank of about 40 plecos!!! But you might not want them to grow too fast since they lose all their white spots gradually!!! Anyway.... Very nice plecos anyway

OK... Explaining time... In Hong Kong and Taiwan(don;t know about other places), There are 2 types of Pseudacanthicus leopardus available on the market. One is the normal L-114 and the other is this Pseudacanthicus cf. leopardus, or L-600. Planetcatfish has some pics, but not the best ones: http://w...

Caol_ila:

Oh don't worry, I can see your concerns ... I will rephrase then:

The plecos defeat the other in battle when first introduced in tank. Afterwards they are generally peaceful. Just a bit of pushing around...

OK??

Well..... I wouldn't call them softies. They are aggressive compared to other pleco sescies but they are pretty feeble in the Pseudacanthicus family. Even Panaques beat mine up.... Mind you some panaques are crazy!!! SOme beat up my L-113!!

Gibbo: Oh trust me!! L-25 is not violent at all compared to some other plecos Like L-114, L-282, L-160 or L-97. I have all of these and 2 L-25s. The 2 L-25s are they biggest out of them and they get beaten by all the above plecos!! The eyes are more like silver in colour... Not really white. Easy: G...

HI Yann, Sorry for the late reply... But it is a know fact in Hong Kong that German fish generally arrive more healthy and in better condition than S amercan fish if they are shipped directly! This is the truth. HK people are often willing to pay more for German fish then S. AMerican fish. ALso, I k...

Hi zabra pleco That is not the case. The dotty royals are a different kind of royal alltogether. It is L-27a. My friend has one that is 8" and it is still dotty all over the body. ALso, these photos show other adult royals that are dotty: http://www.planetcatfish.com/ilibrary/loricari/panaque/3...

I have heard many say trhat if you feed Pseudos too much food, they will grow too fast anf fat. Growing too fast will result to loosing the patterns. If the pleco is feed as much as they should be so they grow slowly, or you can say normally, the patterns will remain. This applies to L-273, L-282, L...

Hi Yann:

Did you mention that L-200 are becoming extinct?? Because the number of these plecos has gone down dramatically recently and the prices have gone up... ANy ideas??

Hey Yann,

I am a personal friend of longlong2, we go to the same shops so I can answer the question for him. These are all wild caught plecos imported from Germany.
