ok, theres a lot of people that keep bottom dwellers, and in particular plecos. This thread shouldnt be derailed cause it'll keep it easy to find out what the most commonly kept pleco is and the rarest and/or least favourite pleco is. So...

Q 1. List all current plecos you have (in all your tanks)

Q 2. Your favourite current pleco

Q 3. Your most recently aquired

Q 4. (if list isnt too long) plecos you have had.

and finally

Q5. The one you miss the most (either R.I.P or sold and regret)

pictures welcome.

yep thats me!! I made a decision a while back now to only keep one of each pleco unless I was breeding them, thats why that add was up. I only sold the L128 though and I couldnt part with my L360 at the time LOL

I have seen that seller before, If he wasnt so far away I would go for a box of all sorts!

All the small Hypans and such are in a plec 190L corner tank. Its got 2 huge 2 1/2ft sides and a large bow front. All the messy stuff is in a 4ft 90gallon. There is a 7ft in the pipe line for my silver arrow and I will be whittling down the plecs to just a few special ones over time. I would love the arrow to be in with....

L273, growth rate is very fast with these guys
L360
L330
LDA65.....but the one I have now wont be big enough...boo.

And then a nice big L25. The corner tank will then be a breeding tank for somthing. The way the water flows is perfect for hypancistrus so who knows!! mmm zebs mmm!!
