L200 - Green Spot Pleco

[WyldFya]

i imagine a large group of them would look pretty good. do they shoal around like corydoras or are they just out more because there is more of their own in there?

No shoaling, just out more.

 

[WyldFya]

Pleco's don't really shoal at all. They sometimes become "pairs" for periods during courtship, but not for life. If you keep many plecos of any species, you will end up seeing more of them.

You should view the vids of the commons in florida. It looks like their shoaling, but in reality, they just cover the entire river bottom.

i have a blue spot L200 he just hides under a rock all day and lunges at any fish that swim by including my jag and green terror, does not come out much other than for feeding or when my night lights are on. he is more active than my bristlenose in the work tank mind you.

cheers

That would be an L128, not an L200.

The albino is always visible, the royal is always out on a piece of wood, the peppermint and gn usually hang out where they can be seen. The only one hardly seen is the mango. When I had an L200 it hid quite a bit.
