Plethora of Plecos

Textile · Jul 30, 2014

So i am currently an 8 Pleco household, I thought this was a lot till i came here. I don't think i can hold a candle to some of you guys.
L240 "Galaxy pleco" 6 - 7in
L128 "Blue Phantom" 6in ish (he comes out all the time, on of my favs)
L265 "Sultan" (3in, still has juvenile colors, and white on fin tips)
Common 9in beast
Bushy nose 4in
L91 "3 beacon pleco" 3.5 to 4
L155 "spotted Adonis" (1.5 to 2in)
L235 "flying pleco" 5in to 6in

The L240, the common, the bushy, the L128, and L235 all share a 60gallon. The other 3 share a 10 gallon. I am currently building out a 240G to house them all. They play pretty nicely except for feeding time.

Anyone have an L240? Mines got quite the big belly on him... he gets plenty of fresh veggies so i am 99% sure its not bloat, hes just very well fed.

I hope to get an L600 down the road, anyone else i should add to my collection?

Cant help too much on pleco info but you are right there are members here with some serious pleco knowledge and members who really bring pleco keeping to MFK levels (recumbent im looking at you and your 87' of gorgeous sucker mouth fish)

Welcome to the plecos section. Nice collection, looking forward to pics.

180, 125, 90 (empty right now), 75, (2) 40b, 29, 29 biocube. I have them spread out throughout all my tanks. I have some that I haven't seen in months, I have some that are too big to hide (i.e. 8" Spotted Royal Pleco) and I have some that love attention (and food)...

I just bought a sump for my 180. I have a Eshopps PF-1800 and just purchased a Eshopps 40g sump with refugium off of craigslist. Never used a sump before, so this will be a learning experience. I run canister's on all my tanks. Mostly Fluval. I currently run (2) FX5's on my 180 and I wanted something that is going to cut back on energy consumption. That's why I'm going with the sump system.

Here are the ones that like to take pictures. I'm not sure what the L-Number is on the first one, but was told it's a Marble Bristlenose.

This is my beast. 8" Spotted Royal Pleco. He destroys driftwood...

This is my 5" Three Beacon that hides most of the time, but when food hits the tank he's out...
