need an I.D

[Wet Whiskers]

thanks

yeah ive never fed with the shells on either but i've never had a panaque before so yesterday i left some shell on the prawns and turned the lights off then today it was all gone

He put those raspers to work. huh?

What about feeding shrimp shells to Leporacanthicus or Pseudacanthicus? I would assume that would be appreciated as they are carnivorous (or is most of their meaty diet molluscs like snails or mussels rather than crustaceans?).

I throw krill into the tank I have the smaller plecos in. Adonis and leopard catcus plecos don't like to share and I don't want leftover rotting in the tank. I'm sure though that they would happily accept it.

just thought i'd post another pic of my guy. sorry about the water stains on my glass

Thanks for posting it. I love that he's chillin next to an MFK sticker.

Great pick-up!!!

Whiskers - Don't you worry about the acrylic when you move your beast to the 600?

He's not going into the 600. While the tank isn't pristine, I would be concerned he would leave craters in the acrylic.

thanks

i had loads and loads of bogwood in my tank which was very dark brown - like the colour of dark chocolate. but during the night i heard my plec scraping the wood with his teeth, throughout the whole night!!!

this morning i wake up and ALL of my bogwood is a lovely pale brown colour

im wondering what he scraped off the wood? maybe it's loads of algae??? cos it seems like there was a really thick dark brown layer on top.

he also chewed on a carrot in the night, so im happy he is eating well. i took the carrot out and examined it, and its soooo weird when i put the carrot in, it was smooth and now i can actually feel lines all over it, very gritty ones! very cool

yep you definitely need to get one. i dont regret getting this guy one bit. although gotta admit his red eyes are a bit freaky

I have never heard any of my plecos. I have a lot of water noise though. That must be pretty cool to hear him chomping away.

I'll try get some photos up. However, I'm working like crazy on that tank trying to get it the FX5 figured out, but that's a whole different story you can find in the Setup and Filtration section under "What's in my FX5?" I'll see if I grab some decent photos of him tonight.
