This guy was called an "Albino Chocolate Pleco", but he's not an albino, obviously. The other guy is my Reticulated Hillstream Loach.

The collection continues to grow... my latest... L018 - Gold Nugget

Had one of these before, years ago. This was the first one I ever saw that made me realize plecos come in more than just the common variety.

Thanks. This little guy is tiny... maybe 2.5 inches? My last one was "average" size for a common... maybe 4-5 inches. I've seen photos on catfish planet of some of these guys in the 1 foot range, but I think that would require some killer nutrition and tank space.

Right now my Sultan (L264 - see my post about 3 pages back) is the biggest, then my King Tiger (L066), then my Gold Nugget (L018) and last but not least my tiny TINY little Rubbernose (L148). I love these guys. I don't see them much, but I love them!

BTW... they really seem to like the flake food my gourami's are getting, and even munch on the shrimp I give the RTC x TSN hybrid (he's just a baby and I'm trying to fatten him up before I put him in with my RTC).
