Any Pleco Fanatics out here?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Fish go where the market is. Most of the pleco people I know only want BN pleco's not the meat eating 48" pleco with lyre's and armor like a tank. They consider them status symbles over there and would give a left nut to get one.
 
This is a list of what I keep. 6 L005 Angelicus, 4 L007 Vampires, 4 L015, 4 L028 Angelicus, 1 L147, 1 L200 lemon spot 9 LDA08 Gold Marble Bristlenose, 12 LDA25 Pitbulls 5 Dwarf Albino Bristlenose, 3 Ottos, 2 Synodontis Nigiventris (1 Zebra Kutu)

fi, fi, fi, fi, FIFTY POUND A YEAR!!!!!???????? :eek:

Tell me about it! The sludge and sawdust in the prefilter always looks like yesterdays coffee grounds. I stopped selecting driftwood pieces by their looks a long time ago. Now, I just select for bulk. He also eats almost a 5lb bag of potatoes a month besides his regular feedings of 4oz of rabbit pellets, 1oz of earthworm sticks, frozen peas, frozen beans, banana, and kiwi he gets on a daily basis. I'd curb his diet except for the fact I want to see just how big he'll grow to. He's almost at the 19" mark now.

Here are a pair of violet royals I just got in. The pic is actually 2 pics joined together. I never saw royals this color before.

Very nice. Panaques are among my favorites. There's a seller on Aquabid selling "Violet Royals" by the name of "Ffn." Did you get your Violets through him? I'm assuming you're the same Oddball as the auctions, but I just wanted to make sure. I'm considering buying some fish from him, but first-hand experiences are always appreciated.


Thanks,
Steve
