Pleco Suggestions

[IDunnoWhy]

The males get larger bristles when they're mature, but neither has bristles when they're small. Females have shorter bristles when they're mature.

Ahhhh, OK, thanks Lotus! *thumbsups

Yea and some females do not have any bristles (like mine)

I have to recommend the King Tiger Pleco. I used to have one a while ago, it was awesome. If you can find one at your LFS, and you can afford it go for it. Heres the link PlanetCatfish :: Cat-eLog :: Loricariidae :: Hypancistrus sp(l066)

How sociable is the leopard frog plec (Peckoltia)?
They looks pretty cool. I'd go with that, maybe.

Eh, he's a little skittish, but he's out and about quite a bit (especially at feeding time).

Occasionally, he and my LDA08 will get into territorial tiffs, but they're not serious. Plus, each one of them has their choice of several caves, so it's not really an issue.

If you can find one, my vote goes to the LDA33. I think mine is a real showstopper!

P.S. Have you thought about possibly having your lfs special order your pleco for you?

He's beautiful *thumbsups

Yes I have, But when I get too that point, I want to make sure I order the appropriate fish for my set-up. (research a bunch & buy once)

Thanks for the suggestion.

so have you decided yet?
i think you'd be very happy with a BN, they are peaceful and very good algae eaters.
I put a baby one in my 7g to get rid of the algae, it was everywhere! anyway it was clean in 24hrs and his bn was about (..........................) tip to tail!
