Looks like an exact replica of my two - south american plecos. Can grow very large. They become active after a while - greta fun to watch at night. You seem to have stumbled upon a nice pleco! BTW - their colouring fades after a while.

On close inspection my bristlenose looks rather spotty, but not in that way. More like a gold nugget pattern and colour, only not so bright. ?Rather a faded gold nugget cross with bristlenose! :D

I chose platies in the end. The pleco is coming out more now they are in there with him. The tank looks more colorful now as I added some plants a day before I got the platies. Due to my restraint of only having £6 to spend I could only get 3. I now have two females and one male. (I am posotive...

Too late. I left this topic unattended for a week and he died. I think it's something to do with he wasnt eating.

Know your stock. The other day I bought two flame tetras and three balck neons. The staff sold me two flames, two balck neons and this tiny glowlight who hides all the time. :( He said that it was just a different colour to the others and would change. Shows how much some people care.

I have one empty tank and I want to breed something relativly easy and colorful in it. Any ideas? Thanx I also have one pleco (small) livng in it

Update UPDATE - He wasn't eating the bloodworkms. I'm feeding him mealworms but I'm looking for an alternative, for all worms will rot his stomach. If you drop by http://abhorsen.co.uk my forums and tell me an alternative, I'd be happy.

The other day I was offered a tank ofr free. Four foot, with filter, light and heater. The guy who owns it is moving its inhabitants to a larger tank and he said it has to go. He is offering it for free! Should I take it and make a marine tank? Thinking cow fish and anenomes. Thanks guys

Ouch. I'm sorry for your loss... :(

Do a water change and add dechlor - then add some live plants. they consume nitrate to keep the cycle going. When you add fish they will produce ammponia themselves and the bacteria and plants will do the rest for you. It all does itself!

If they are retaining eggs watch out! When they are dropped move the danios out - they'll eat their babies! Or you could buy loads of new stuff they can hide in - e.g. castles, shipwrecks, plastic trees (you'l need hell loads) and shelters. Anywhere they can hide in the escape from predatorous...

I had one of those in my old goldfish tank - it was overpowerful and most blowing the fish around. Poor things. I removed it again after a little while.

Heheheheh... "What would you prefer - nuclear disaster or Abomb-bardment?" I'm sure I'll be safe, I'm over 400 miles away!

I don't really have a problem, I'm just deciding which would be best for the axolotl. BTW I'm postive on that now - it isn't 'pondering' anymore.

err... I didn't post it twice...
