Unpopular Opinions - Plecos

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Are you trying to start a war?! lol

I’ll bite!

Kinda just there imo. I wouldn’t hesitate to put a bn in a tank, or some other species based on tankmates, but I personally can’t justify paying hundreds of dollars for a fish that sits in one place all day.
There certainly are some amazing looking species out there tough (I’m looking at you phase 3 luteus)!
 
i would have to say IMO most plecos are a little bit boring and have a high waste factor. there are a few i really like;
Pseudorinelepis cf. genibarbis
Scobinancistrus aureatus

L137
L600

I had a luteus like a gold bar in the bottom of your tank
 
Titan panaques scare me, I cannot imagine the reaction of the first person to see a full sized one
edit: I mean the L191 one not the 418
 
Well I’m going in the opposite direction

my unpopular opinion is that plecos are interesting
It depends on the pleco, I like watching ancistrus punch eachother with their gill spikes but idk what other species do

L95’s a interesting to watch, the l137’s come out and go about their business in the day time, l201’s are out and about in the tank today, common and sailfin plecos are impressive with their sheer size and un-shy-ness

I quite enjoy most plecos and their antics,
I guess that’s why my opinion is unpopular
 
Zebra plecos cost too much.
