pleco

What's the best way to preemptively stop algae growth on white sand? I'll be using bright light. Plecos? UV? 6 hours of light a day? Thanks - Nick

So I noticed that the dorsal fin and tail of my common pleco seem to be torn on the edges. I've seen other threads describing similar symptoms with other fish. I'm not sure if he's getting picked on or if it's how he moves against my decor, and I'm also not sure if it's something I should worry...

This is my first post here so I hope it's in the right category. I've got my first big fish. A 12 inch oscar. He was a little bit of a rescue amd impulse buy as the fish store couldn't get him to eat. He is temporarily in a 40 gallon tank and I do daily water changes (about 50 percent) Temp...

Hello! I have a pleco that's grown too big for my 30 gal tank, and he needs a new home. I don't want to bring him to a petco or something, I want to know he's going to a good home. If anyone in Connecticut would like to take him in, please let me know. He's about 11 inches (way too big for my...

Hi guys- I bought a small pleco a while back-around 2 1/2 inches long-and he enjoys staying in the one cave (so far) in my tank. However, that's all he does during the day. He NEVER comes out. The only time he came out was the day I put him in my tank; he also only comes out at night. Is this...

Hello everyone! Today one of my ~10 inch koi recently died to an unknown cause. All the other koi are doing fine and eating with vigor. This koi was doing perfect yesterday and was eating well, but when i found it dead on one side of the body it was almost descaled, while the other side was...

I think I have an Adonis pleco. I don't know much aside from "there supposed to loose there spots when they mature"??? The specimen that i posses has no such dissapearing spots. All of the photos that look close to mine are not close at all. They have colored patches of skin. My fish has white...

My mom and I collectively have 3 plecos, I have 2, and she has 1. They will outgrow their tanks and we have no current means of acquiring a big enough tank for them, especially 3. 2 are in a 29 gallon, and 1 is in a 39 gallon tank. These are obviously not adequate tank sizes for these plecos...

Hi guys, I've never posted on here but I really hope you can help me. I found a pleco today at my lfs with no eyes, its about 7 inches long. Im not sure if hes an albino or what- I'm going to try and upload a picture, but I wanted to ask if you guys thought he might be OK in my community tank...

Can somebody please ID this pleco and accurate price for it? Thanks

NOTICE: This article concerns the identity of a store bought 'Common Pleco', they need tanks greater than 100 Gallons and must have a diverse diet, good water quality, and plenty of personal space to be happy. Hey guys, been a few years since last I posted but years of research I'm finally...

Picked this guy (or girl) up today. Pretty excited, first time keeping a pseuda, so I thought I'd share. It will go into the Tapajos Biotope in my sig once it's done quarantine. It's still small, only about 3.5"

I recently set up a heavily wooded 135 gallon tall for some Geophagus Winemilleri i had aquired and ended up with 2 different Royal Plecos. So i started doing some digging on all the types and really, there isn't a good amount of intel reguarding them on the net. So i need some experts. One of...
