My Plecosamus

[alia258]

I love this fishy so much!!! Look at all these great pics!!! Please do comment, and ask any questions you'd like, as I am very sure in my ways of raising plecos ^^

When he was younger:




His cuteness hanging on a leaf:


Hanging out with his little cory friend:



His "mohawk":


He is healthy and happy! And he's such a fatty! He eats a whole one of those disc algae things every evening! That's so cute!!! I love him, his name is Oscar ^^~<3

Randy!!! Your pleco is ginormous!!!!! That's amazing! Mine is about 5 1/2 inches long, and the pet store told me he was just a common one. He's still growing, but because his home is a ten gallon he's not going to make it to full size, unless I get a bigger tank. Either way he's happy and healthy! I love his reddish color, it's so pretty! I'll have to get a pic of him upside-down sucking algae off the decor in my tank! He's so cute! I like his markings, even though he went from dark blue to reddish, he's kept those lighter markings on him ^^ he likes the large amount of algae that grow on my one plastic plant and the ruins decorations! You know what? He nearly died when I got him! He wouldn't move, it started the second week I got him! There was a spike in the levels and the water got so nasty and I couldn't get it out! Then I discovered that if I use the water from the filtered thing from the sink (it cleans out chlorine, fluorine, and puts minerals in, to be healthy drinking water) and then stress coat, the water is so much healthier. And now the tanks inhabitants live in good for you drinking water ^^

When I drop an algae disc in the tank he gets really excited and swims around the tank chasing away the other fish.

That's too funney! With my pleco, when I turn the light on in the morning or off at night, he is the ONLY one who acts suprised! You'd think that after a year he might understand the schedule! ^^

Alia thanks..... He is a big guy and I expect him to get a good bit bigger as he is in a 175 gal. He is goofy as ever he does everything upside down and because he is in a tank with my 14 inch Oscar he lives to pewter the Oscar. I don't know if you have ever felt your little guy but they feel like armored sand paper. Mine loves for my to pet it nudge him.when i clean out the tank

[alia258]

Mine is just a common pleco, nothing special (according to the store) but he is currently my favorite fishie ever!!!

 

[randy86]

Khris I couldn't begin to tell you what kind he is I naught him as a little tiny plain ol pleco and come ti find out he definatly isn't as he gas spots rather than stripes and has a few other characteristics that seperate him but I would live to know if any one can offer any opinions
