L201: A good buy?

[demonknight]

Being where i am, i rarely get to see most of the fishes you guys talk about in here so when my LFS gets some good plecos i generally go nuts

Recently picked up a royal and a blue phantom [juveniles]. He now has a L201 juvenile [$40] which i suppose is the Angel pleco?

Non vegetarians they are i gather. Want to know how easy they are to feed considering i have 6 clowns and 3 yo-yos who devour any pellets i drop. Will this guy be able to fight it out for the food?

I had a hard time getting food to my plecos with geophagus in the tank so know you will have to feed twice as much just so a few pellet can get to the plecos. Is the other plecos you have now getting enough food?

I first drop in hikari carnivore pellets which the clowns fill up on. sailfin also wolfs down a few. then i drop the wafers for the plecos near their usual haunts. some late night drops also happen and you cant' keep those guys off the cucumbers

So for veg food the plecos are ok, but not sure for the angel pleco when it comes to carnivore pellets. Give it a pass i guess?

So i gave in to temptation and bought him. This was taken at the LFS in a tannin filled tank.

It's been a couple of days now and i hardly see this little fella in my 90 gallon tank. Hope he gets to eat
