New Cactus

[1 2many]

Just wanted to share my newest addition-

Had the chance to pick up one of my favorites a few weeks ago from LFS.
(L160) Pseudacanthicus Spinosus. 2 weeks out of quarantine. 6.5“ eating NLS algae max wafers and Hikari sinking carnivore pellets.
Comes out regularly now at feeding time. Otherwise likes to hide amongst the driftwood.

Kind off topic, but why are cactus plecos called cactus plecos? If anything, it should be bristlenose plecos that should be called cactus plecos.

They are covered in spines.

It dawned on me that I haven’t updated this thread in a while. I figured its a good time to do so since I got a few photos today. I originally wanted to post an update after 6 months but it slipped my mind so 7 month update it is.
She is healthy and approximately 7" now. Roughly a half inch of growth so far. Main diet consists of pellets. Mostly Massivore and Algae max. I also give frozen krill, mysis, and bloodworms once a week as a treat.
