I did a thing.....

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Picked up a reptile cave today for them to use as a pleco cave for now....one poked his head out for a quick snack on cucumber.
I guess here’s a pic of the male Congo

If you manage to breed them then aquatic arts sells an albino version of this fish which costs more incase you want to make a bit of money without having to do anything more than before.

I’m located in Canada so I’m not sure aquatic arts will ship (or if I can even afford shipping)

feel free to post a pic of the albino version.

In my area people don’t really want to spend more than $20-$30 on a fish...so I’m not sure there’s even a market for the ones I have...if I’m lucky enough to have a male and female, and even luckier if they breed.

I always forget to check where people live before making suggestions.

Here is the albino version they sell
Here is the normal version they sell

Both are out of stock but eventually they will come back in stock just like most things if a person shows interest.

I do like those albino ones...I’m not keen on the normal ones...they look different from mine haha.

I was at my fish store again today and I asked about ordering more in and they informed me they are not getting any more stock as of right now....no planes no fish I was told. Not sure if this is all my lfs or just the one.

I’ll probably not see l333 in my area again anytime soon
 
Barely see these two, though I did expect that.

question if one got eaten or not...looks to be doing well

not sure if they are eating or not, I place cucumber in the tank every couple of nights...looks like the snails eat at it...then it disappears (sysns might also be eating it)

every couple of nights I also put meaty pellets in after light out so hoping there’s always food for them.I read they prefer veggies as young and how into meaty foods...thought I’m not sure when that changes for them or what size

oooooppppppsss did it again....

While on my searches to find two more of these guys a local pleco guy I was in contact with had someone back out of a sale and it just so happened to be L333’s suspected to be both females...one confirmed female. Lucky me! These two beauties are 3 inches roughly or a bit larger.

upon release they both took cover...hoping to get some better pictures over the next week or so...if I see them again
