Love that fish's looks! :thumbsup: Anybody now a name and average price?
 
Plecos are my favorites. Had a blue eyed that I gave away to a friend because I had to move. :cry: Got him at a fish store on 14th street in NYC for $20 bucks (I think the place was called petland). Obviously that was in the 90's before they became nearly extinct from pollution. He was a really nice jet black one with vivid blue eyes. Currently I only have one pleco ( Royal pictured in avatar). Poops his body weight daily and I love him so.
 
I'm another pleco-fan... Now I have a xanto (Parancistrus aurantiacus) and a L-077 with my CA/SA cichlids. Planning to get a Pterygoplichthys parnaibae in the next few days.

Best regards.

Daniel.
 
I am an avid pleco fan. Over there years I have had, no doubt I'll forget some, but the list is:

Leopard pleco, sailfin pleco, hypostomus, chocolate hypo, green phantom, royal pleco, clown pleco, rubber lips, bulldog, monster pleco, king tigers, rhino pleco, blue eyed pleco, butterfly pleco, mango pleco, and my all time favorite, acanathis adonis, ADONIS pleco. Nothing like the Adonis. amazing fish. Mine responded when I talked to him- fed out of my hand.
 
great thread guys. theres a lot of monster fans that are into plecos too!
glad you all came out of the closet. Post more pics guys !! Awesome collections
no doubt . . .
 
i love plecos too. the bigger the better. it's just a beautiful thing to watch them munching away happily on a cucumber. i've allways wanted to do a pleco tank, but the ones i've seen in my area that i really liked were just too expensive. now that i have the room and tankspace, i was thinking about getting a panaque to put in my tank with senegal bichirs. any suggestions or warnings?
