    Ya I've been looking on planetcatfish and it kinda looks like a L075. Only time will tell I guess!!! Very happy with the $2.00 purchase

    Thanks! I really needed some good algae grazers and I hope they keep their markings.

    I know the feeling. My sunshine hides all day!!! He's around 8 inches now but in a 210 gallon there is still plenty of places to hide

    Not a bad price at all. I spent $50 on mine.

    Thank you very much!! I work at my local petco as an aquatic specialist and every time we get them in their gut is very sunken sink, which is never a good sign. We place them in a planted tank with discus and driftwood. We only have algae wafers and shrimp pellets to feed them. The aufwuchs is...

    So random question....I'm looking into buying a gold nugget pleco and wanted any input on their care. I've heard from a few people they are hard to keep. Any suggestions or experience?

    That is a beautiful specimen!! I just talked to a guy that's got a female sunshine and I think I've got a male. So may start breeding some sunshine plecos soon

    My experience is that the common pleco can grow up to 18+ inches. They can live for quite a long time, I've heard over 10 years. Never had one that long before so idk. They are primarily algae grazers but supplement with aquatic wood is also good. That's my two cents

    I've got a 40 gallon sump with a fountain pump that pumps over 1200 gallons an hour. So far the overflows have worked well. I did add a UV sterilizer to keep any algal blooms away and the system is working well.
