Why hate on common pleco's??

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Kinda what I figured. Oh well, I have one. He's cool. He is growing along side an oscar, a pike and some silver dollars in a 125. Exotic enough for me!
 
Not me, Commons are high on my list... even when Zebras were $35 I still had commons over them. Pterygoplichthys in general tend to be my favorite on the pleco list.

1) Rhino
2) Albino sailfin
3) L091 (3 beacon)
4) L001
5) Sailfin
6) L155
7) Zucchini
8) Pardalis(sp)
9) Disjuntas(sp)
10) L240

So commons rank 8 and 9 in my list with other similar Pterygoplichthys taking up alot in the top 10
 
They are cool until they toilet paper your entire tank with turd. They are a decent looking fish, but like already said tooooo common and toooooo big for most.
 
Because most people don't do their research and they either get too large for them or whatever. Every fish has its place in the hobby. Me my choclate which is common is one of my favorite fish. And I also have a rare L-24 flame pleco.
