My new L-264

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
sorry about your loss buddy. A couple things i would recommend. I have one of these and they do love blood worms. The guy who said something about the white substrate was right. You need to give some cave like shaded structure. That white substrate must have added stress to the plec. A nice piece of mopani wood should do it. feed at night and make the the temp is at the upper 70's. around 79-80. My opinion. This is what i do and mine is thriving, the most unbashful and active of my plecs. I also work at a lfs so ive come across alot of rare plecs.

Just read the rest of the topic... sorry for your loss. BTW, this species is not herbivore... My sultan used to eat meat very well. Actually, it ate two pieces of chicken meat while still in the bag it came fro the LFS. But my RTCxTSN cat thought it should taste good and ATE it. It didn't even noticed the pleco's spiny armour... :swear:

Best regards.

Daniel.
 
Sorry to hear that!!!!
 
Nice catch and good price ! Very tempting to get one too... :thumbsup: :clap
 
sorry to hear that, i wanted a small royal for $15 but it died at my lfs, but when i walked in today saw a gold nugget for $20 and grabbed it. hope it makes it, looks vibrant and is really running around the tank.
 
Sorry for your loss :(
ALWAYS check the belly of a plec before you buy it. If it's hollow either leave it there or get some kind of a guarantee from the shop. So many plecs get imported with hollow bellies and subsequentley die, its gutting.
