I just picked these kids up today...

Great prices on those guys. Lets see some pics in tank!

Figured I'd post this while I'm at it. First shot ever of all 4 of my whips together.

Nice. I'd say you have 2-3 species of whiptail there.

That's what I'm thinking too, none of which I can positively ID so far LOL.

 

[WyldFya]

Do you have a trap? Can you get pictures of them close up head, birds eye, and side view with dorsal erect?

 

[loach43]

Eventually I'll get some definitave side by side shots of these in outdoor lighting and cross my fingers that they don't get too pale from freakin' out in the process. You were right about handling these out of water. Much more feisty than panaques!

 

[WyldFya]

Yeah, very difficult to do. I would just use a fish trap and hold them in that under a bright light. no flash. that will be the easiest.

found some old pics of my gn on this comp...
its when it first went in the tank. havent had pics of it since. its so reclusive. like most of them

 

[WyldFya]

That is a great looking GN. You need to get more pics up of your other plecos.

 

[loach43]

yes, very sweet GN. Colors are blazin'. Truly exceptional lil' beast. One of the best I've ever seen actually.

yea i got lucky i think, i didnt even choose the specific one (normally they let me just catch one). thanks for your kind comments. just feed plenty of protein, with a varied diet and all plecos can look good, im sure of it!
