Just figured I'd share some photos of my favorite plecos.
If anyone is looking for a beautiful pleco that won't hide as often and will go great with other carnivorous fish this is a great choice.
Enjoy the pics!

Yeah that is the older one. I'd say about 6" maybe a little bigger and 4". I'll be waiting a little bit before I can tell what sex they are I think.

Watch out for them geese!

Yes.. these plecos are too awesome... I'm tempted to get a 4th one.. A giant at 12"...

Thanks for the info but what U tallking bout homie!!!
We had a discussion about Canadian Geese awhile back.
I mentioned I had a friend that got crapped on by a bunch of them and you told me how you had to beat one off of you with your fishing pole:ROFL:

I hear it's good to have a 1 male to 2 female ratio when you are breeding plecos. I don't know how true it is but that is what I was going to try and do. I just don't want to see 2 males beating each other up. Any thoughts or suggestions on that?
My goldies get spooked when I first turn them on but as soon as they get under their wood they usually venture out again but I mostly keep my lights off cause I have 6 Dats in with them that mostly mope around when I have them on but when they are off they will be livelier. When I keep the lights off the dats will all come out to eat if I don't some won't. But as I stated the goldies don't seem to mind the lights just when I turn them on.
