Favorite Pleco

[Fishyfanatic]

I'm just curious what everyone's favorite pleco is. I was going to do a poll but there are WAY too many to even give the option for. SO, just post what your favorite one is and why

Small pleco: My little rubber guy. He's sooo cute and tiny. Everytime I see him I can't help but laugh at his size compared to the other fish in the tank. He can't be bigger than an inch and a half.

Large pleco: Sailfin Gibbiceps. I have one and he is BEAUTIFUL.

i havent had a pleco in years but i saw a zebra in a display tank yesterday and it was one of the coolest fish i've ever seen

I like the Zebra... my common pleco's were pretty cool - a lot of personality. Don't see much of my rubbernose. I love the look of the Queen Arabesque too - just gorgeous.

I have two favorites.
If you go by the amount of cleaning done, the bulldog pleco is my favorite.
If you go by looks, tnen the royal pleco is my favorite.

I love my 14 in common pleco, lots of personality. He will eat out of my wifes hand.

I've only ever kept commons and Gibbiceps, so those are my two picks. My common is full of personality. The Gibbiceps was mean, but...cool too.

My "emerald" pleco (also my most expensive fish). I need a digital camera to show you guys and gals what it looks like!

My next Pleco will be a 'Sunshine', when I get my planned 125gal, http://www.planetcatfish.com/catelog/loricari/scobinan/161_f.php

My last Pleco was a 'Snow King', whom I unfortunately had to get rid of due to my Oscar and him fighting in our 75gal, that and the high NO3 levels they were producing. Two 25-30% PWC's per week and it was averaging NO3 40+ppm.
Here's some pics I took,

If money was no object? A zebra pleco would probably be my favorite.

With budget in mind, I'd probably go with a King Tiger or Queen Arabesque

I've never even see one in person, but the legendary blue eye pleco looks really cool. $400 though!

Just want you to know that this opinion has no bias whatsoever...



I mean, really...is that not cute or what?

My favorites are my leopard frog plecos. (L-134). Hereis a pic of one of mine.

I personally would love to have a Zebra, but I know that's not gonna happen.
