Your pleco set-up (preferably monstersized)

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
my 11" gibby shares a 100 gallon with about 30 2" clown loaches and a 6" chinese algae eater..

hes the only reason i have any of my tanks.. i love that friggin fish.. no idea why but i watch him more than any of my other fish and all he does is poop...
 
I just picked up my first "monster" yesterday. it is a great fish, it swims around like a shark now that hes getting used to the tank:popcorn:. I am trying to look up info on them, but I cant find much. he is a sailfin pleco, and is about...9-10 inches. by far the biggest ive purchased. I have some carrots in the refrigerator, would he eat that? here are a few pics to show the real beauty of this fish, hope you like it... I picked him up for $30, with a complimentary cooler. :headbang2

yeah, I love it. what are you feeding yours?
 
"8"-9" L240 Galaxius, tank on floor, still working on the stand. Will add the rest of the wood/sand plants when I have the tank on the new stand.
I also have a much smaller one about 3"-4" in a 46 gallon growout as well as a 55 gallon breeder for BN.

The colouration and patterning looks a lot like my L001. They're supposed to top out at 12".
