I love plecos but unfortunately most are illegal here so i dont get to keep many exotics. The ones that are available are all AU$500 or more

Where do u live in australia? au$500 what kind of pleco do u have then?

i bought 2 different kinds not sure witch 1 are very small yet
spend like $1 each maybe no golden pleco or will see later on

:thumbsup:
 
I have caught the plecotitus now and I bought a Sultan pleco today, the best fish purchase in a while and does anybody know how rare those are? Ive just never seen them before. It was cool because I was gonna buy a queen arabesque but then saw my little sultan tucked away in a corner. :naughty: :clap
 
I love Plecos, but for some reason, they always seem to die on me. I usually get about 1-2 years out of them and they die on me for no reason. They longest I've ever kept one was 5 years. :( I don't know what I'm doing wrong. Everything else lives. How long do plecos live anyways? I've always wondered that and no one has been able to answer that.
 
might be feeding. I'm never sure if my pleco really eats well because i don't see him eat. I throw some algae wafers and i notice he cleans up well (pvc pipes are clear of algae because of him). Algae wafers are gone the next day when i check on the tank so i assume he eats, but can't be sure. :(
 
I just bought a clown pleco and a tiger pleco to go with the sultan. Im looking for 1 more fancy pleco to put in there. (75g)
 
Just got my webcam. Im going to post some new pics of my scarlet plco for starters. Wish me luck on figuring out how to take good pics with this cam.
