pleco

Hello all, I recently lost both of my plecos. Within 3 days of each other. I removed the bodies immediately. I can't figure out what killed them. Thier tankmates are 4 baby angels (1.5 inches), two baby ornate bichirs (2.5 inches), a baby black ghost knife (2 inches), and baby five clown loaches...

I've had my current 60g (long) tank up and running since last summer. Despite my taste for large fish, my current stock is doing very well together. My current stock is as listed below: x1 Common Plecostomus x1 Azul Peacock Bass x1 Polypterus Endlicheri x1 Silver Arowana (Surprise!) Please keep...

I was just interested as to see what kind of plecos you guys keep! I love plecos, and, even though I've only got one at the moment, I plan on getting more in the future! What would you suggest? Attached at the bottom are recently taken (and edited) pics of my common pleco. (I should really...

I came across this crazy picture and had to do this thread!! Who has the largest pleco catfish kept in a tank (not a pond)! image source: http://plecostomus.org/growth-size/

So i put this new piece of wood in my aquarium and two days later it has this crazy white cloudy stuff growing on it. I took it out immediately! My royal pleco was loving it tho. should i treat my tank for fungus or what? this stuff grew so rapidly on this wood. what to do. Do my fish need...

Ok the tank

Is this a Normal Hi-Fin Pleco Or a Marble Hi-Fin Pleco I was told it is a normal by one person and another said it is marble... Both said it is hi-fin.

I am going to get a 100 gallon tank in a month or two and i was wondering what i should stock it with? There will be two turtles (that can never catch fish, Iv'e had them for a while and want to upgrade their tank), a place and some large comet goldfish. are there any large fish that can go into...

so I recently reieved a leopard pleco on the 20 of January, his precious owner took terrible care of it , water was terrible, she gave me the whole set up with heater everything , I scrubbed the tank and equipment for 2 hours , and gave him a new home , however it turned out the heater wasn’t...

Recently, I just noticed that my common pleco's lip appeared to be bleeding. By 'bleeding,' I mean red. I does NOT look healthy. Prior to this, he had a tiny growth on the side of his head; it is currently shrinking. As of now, I do not know my water parameters and I have no pictures of the...

Just some fish that stood out to me from my LFS. Enjoy:)

Hello all! I’ve been a lurker here for a while but finally made an account to post some questions I have. I currently have a very established 75 gallon stocked with a motley crew of Corydora Catfish (a few Albinos, Juli, and Pandas) that essentially school. Most are fairly small. In the same...

I currently have a nano tank and desperately need another pleco. Right now I have a L162, but all it does is hide and only comes out during water changes since I clean his hiding spot. Also in that tank are various shrimp(cross breeding), cpos(the aquarium I got my pair from were raised in a...

Is there a way to make them more active? They just stay at the bottom of the tank and don't do much. They are juveniles about an inch in length. Water conditions are fine. Living with plecos and feeder guppies. TEMPORARY HOUSING . Eventually moving to soemthing large with other predator fish. I...

My ancient pleco developed bloat. I have done two big tank and filter changes, and fed him some minced peas. He became more active at first, but is still drifting and staying near the top of the tank. He's in a 35 gallon tank with another older catfish, and both have been very healthy until...
