Whats your favorite pleco and hows there temperment?

[DMD123]

as far as personality goes i gotta give it up for my 12'' L001 p. joselimaianus

I have the same type. He started off much smaller than all his tankmates so he got named "Spec". He is getting to be around 8" now and holds his ground with my similar sized Midas. He will also chase the Red Hook silver dollars a little during feedings. I know hes not rare but I love his personality, sail fin and color.

But don't mistake big plecos for peaceful wimps, they are the armoured bulldozer of the aquarium world. If they get annoyed they can open a can of woop ass on most other fish.

pleco vs school of pirahna

I have a 13" L21 that acts more like a goofy dog than a fish. My 4" albino bristlenose male pushes him around, big time. I'm attached to the L21 the most out of all my plecos. If I could run out and buy a pleco today, though, I'd have to get a L239 or L330. I like their colors and size.

L128 anyday, i currently own 16 of them

then i would say L273 or the L204...

Adonis and green phantom are my favourites.
Adonis cause I got him when he was 1" and now 15", takes care of all glass in my 200G, and green phantom cause he takes care of all the glass of my 130G (Africa) tank, in which my Heterotis niloticus rules.
And they are both very beautiful.

Pterygoplichthys gibbiceps
P. gibbiceps albino
P. joselimaianus
P. weberi
P. schrophus
P. punctatus
P. pardalis
P. disjunctivus

As you can see I love Pterygoplichthys despite them not being colorful and pretty common well beside P. weberi and P. punctatus which are harder to obtain.

OOh and from what ive observed there all very bold and are not afraid to hold there own ground.

Your a man after my heart. I also strongly like Pterygoplichthys. I listed my top 5, if I finish it to the top 10, it would look like this:

6. Sailfin
7. L001(joselimaianus)
8. Pterygoplichthys undecimalis (Owned 3 back in the early 90's)
9. P. pardalis
10. P. disjunctivus
