lol...let me know how you do, i have 2 tems, 2 ocell and 1 lmb, and i was looking to add a gold nugget pleco too...let me know how you do

Ok, just ordered a couple of 3" Gold Nugget Plecos!!! I bought them online at somethingphishy.com and they should be here on tuesday! I'm excited! I'll post some pics when they get here.
 
Well, one of the gold nuggets died during shipping. Here is my first pic of the other one. What a beautiful fish! I'm going to try to find a couple more.

i love nuggets lol but i think they stay around 4-6 inches am i correct? i dont know to much about them. i read something that once they are in captivity they dont grow much because lack of nutrients that they get from the wild... shrug shrug but like i said i dont know much about these fish so correct me if i am wrong. if they only get 4-6 inches them they are dinner :(
 
I agree with boosten. That pleco is soon to be dinner (well within a couple months I say).

I think that pbass are smart enough to stay away from plecos, catfish or anything else with spikes. It should be a natural instinct.

lol this statement is not true i have seen them eat plecos... i think toungues' cichla ate a pleco and both spikes came out his cheeks
