y'all r sleeping on chubby plecos

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Not sure but they are really expensive here, much more than zebras. Try online, a vendor would prob be able to get them. I prefer hypostomus lutus to be honest
 
I might be willing to sell my soul for a luteus!
 
found a guy in albany with rubber plecos2" $6 each,looks like the juvie on the first page
Now to see what it looks like when it gets big:popcorn:
 
lol. If so someone made a big BIG mistake. its probably a whole different species. Get a photo
 
The color changing mechanism for p. aur. is, as of yet, largely a mystery...some claim that good water conditions or lack of stress change them from black to gold, but really, that is more wishful thinking on their part, as such claims have yet to be proven---in fact, I've seen slate grey fish in the most pristine conditinos, and gold fellows in absolute wastebaskets, not to mention that golds are usually shipped in as such, and do not change a great deal along the way, so stress is out. However, they are capable of large color changes, most likely due to environmental cues--no one is absolutely sure what cues, though.
