Great pond Sir! Very inspiring. Hope to build my own soon. TFS.![]()
the three pleco types I see are:
a chocolate pleco, the first one
a common pleco, the second one
and an albino chocolate pleco, the third one
thanks mate![]()
Anytime
Just in case your wondering about max size for those pleco's, The Regular/Albino Chocolates will reach a little over a foot, but I'm not entirely sure about the common, because I'm not sure about the specific species
The 1st and the 3rd are the same (just a color variation)... as mentioned they are Albino chocolates (from Pterygoplichthys pardalis) .
I had one up to 14inches. In theory they should be able to get up to 2 feet as the templated host( again a Pterygoplichthys pardalis) but I doubt they can and have never seen one bigger then the one I had
The 2nd one is either a Pterygoplichthys pardalis or a Pterygoplichthys disjunctivus . A Pardalis has a circle(round) like pattern on it's belly whereas the Disjunctivus has a wavy like pattern on it's belly. Both can get up to 2 feet.
