Getting Interested in Plecos

Re: Getting Interested in Plecos

I doubt it's an L129, though it's similar, based in the current defined pattern on the dorsal fin. I'm 99% sure it's an L204 Flash Pleco which have popped up in a few LFS in the recent past.

99.5% certain it isn't a L204.

What about L270?

Josh, do you have any pictures from the front?

Looks like bristlenoses to me. Maybe females only the males get bristles.

That mystery Pleco, Plantedtank thinks it's a L129.
Anywho, going to go to Tim's place and check out the new plecos.

my Bristle nose is guarding eggs right now... i guess when they hatch they will be fish food

[tys91]

ok guys i have a question
do you have to have these catfish by themselves in a tank to breed them or can you have them with guppys etc and still breed ?>

[Jozle]

I think TexSun had some fish living with them when he was factory breeding his. I keep many of mine together because they're still young. The older ones I keep separate.
