pleco

I am going to get a 100 gallon tank in a month or two and i was wondering what i should stock it with? There will be two turtles (that can never catch fish, Iv'e had them for a while and want to upgrade their tank), a place and some large comet goldfish. are there any large fish that can go into...

so I recently reieved a leopard pleco on the 20 of January, his precious owner took terrible care of it , water was terrible, she gave me the whole set up with heater everything , I scrubbed the tank and equipment for 2 hours , and gave him a new home , however it turned out the heater wasn’t...

Recently, I just noticed that my common pleco's lip appeared to be bleeding. By 'bleeding,' I mean red. I does NOT look healthy. Prior to this, he had a tiny growth on the side of his head; it is currently shrinking. As of now, I do not know my water parameters and I have no pictures of the...

Just some fish that stood out to me from my LFS. Enjoy:)

Hello all! I’ve been a lurker here for a while but finally made an account to post some questions I have. I currently have a very established 75 gallon stocked with a motley crew of Corydora Catfish (a few Albinos, Juli, and Pandas) that essentially school. Most are fairly small. In the same...

I currently have a nano tank and desperately need another pleco. Right now I have a L162, but all it does is hide and only comes out during water changes since I clean his hiding spot. Also in that tank are various shrimp(cross breeding), cpos(the aquarium I got my pair from were raised in a...

Is there a way to make them more active? They just stay at the bottom of the tank and don't do much. They are juveniles about an inch in length. Water conditions are fine. Living with plecos and feeder guppies. TEMPORARY HOUSING . Eventually moving to soemthing large with other predator fish. I...

My ancient pleco developed bloat. I have done two big tank and filter changes, and fed him some minced peas. He became more active at first, but is still drifting and staying near the top of the tank. He's in a 35 gallon tank with another older catfish, and both have been very healthy until...

What's the best way to preemptively stop algae growth on white sand? I'll be using bright light. Plecos? UV? 6 hours of light a day? Thanks - Nick

So I noticed that the dorsal fin and tail of my common pleco seem to be torn on the edges. I've seen other threads describing similar symptoms with other fish. I'm not sure if he's getting picked on or if it's how he moves against my decor, and I'm also not sure if it's something I should worry...

This is my first post here so I hope it's in the right category. I've got my first big fish. A 12 inch oscar. He was a little bit of a rescue amd impulse buy as the fish store couldn't get him to eat. He is temporarily in a 40 gallon tank and I do daily water changes (about 50 percent) Temp...

Hello! I have a pleco that's grown too big for my 30 gal tank, and he needs a new home. I don't want to bring him to a petco or something, I want to know he's going to a good home. If anyone in Connecticut would like to take him in, please let me know. He's about 11 inches (way too big for my...
