At the moment i have two Starlight Bristlenose Plecos and i am absolutely in love with them. while i worked at a fish shop i also fell in love with the golden nugget plecos. does any one have any nice pleco pics or tips please?
He died and i think it may have been due to several ounces of carp tackle lead i used to keep the plants in place.
Seemed like a good idea at the time, for i didn't know plecos get lead poisoning very easily. Provide driftwood, a place to hide (I prefer i cave more then the number of plecos) and a varied diet shoulf keep your fish happy.
I too love plecos. Best advice I could give you would be to bookmark this website:http://www.planetcatfish.com/catelog/numbers.php?mode=l&thumbs=16

I Had A Scarlet Pleco Which I Adorned... Most Beautiful Fish Ever. I Just Wish I Had Enough Money To Get Another. The Only Fish Which Stood Up To RBP(Rammed The **** Out Of Them), And Oscars Twice The Size Of Them. Ended Up Getting Killed By 35 mixed cichlids. .05"-1.5" while it was 7.5... Best Pleco Ever
and i know this may stir some people up but i cant stand the look of gold nugget plecos. stubby things.
but i lllllllooooooovvvveee the basic common pleco. as well as the other darker colored plecos.
My pleco Tim (named after Tim the enchanter from monty python) is a common plec and acts in all sorts of fun ways. he is king of his tank and puts my very very HYPER gara ruffa (named twitch) in his place.
My boyfriend and I have decided to turn one of our tanks into tank dedicated to beautiful plecos. Does anyone have any suggestions for it? what are the prettiest ones and where can I find them. =)
