Thanks. I have only had these plecos for under 24 hours and they have already contributed significantly to the amount of waste (poop). Besides that they look pretty cool. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

By the way here is pic of my tank Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

So I finally put my 240 gallon together. And I just got these two off CL and was told they are leopard sailfin plecos. What do you all think Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Ok ok, but it is reserved to be the replacement tank for my Tanganyica tank (7 Mpimwe fronts, 6 Calvus. Main characters in my 150). We will be moving around summer time. I would set up "Maximus tankus" in permanent spot get it established and make move stress free for all of us. But your right...

Well I hope it's the 1 footer and keeps its spots. Thanks.

I hope your right about the size. But it also says they loose their spots, don't want that. I don't think it's a galaxy. Mines does not have long snout and its top fin isn't that large. Hope he ends up being a snowflake.

Bribo so what do you think it is? The 3 ft size is noted in a couple sites. They do loose their spots though, right?

I hope so. Snowball Pleco – Hypancistrus Inspector, L102, L142, L033.

I hope so. Inspector is part of the scientific name for a snowball.

I hope it is a snowball and not an Adonis pleco. Snowball only get 6 inches an Adonis gets 3 feet. BIG DIFFERENCE. I do have one 8 foot by 2 foot by 2 foot siting dry in garage. But don't think that would be adequate for an Adonis. Plus I like him at his current size and with spots. If he starts...

It doesn't have the characteristics of a bristlenose or vampire. It is very black with white spots. He is about 3.5 inches and I acquired him about a year ago he lives with my breeding colony of Pundemilla nyererie ruti island.

Here is another view.

I know he is not a cichlid, but our group is so smart. He/she is shy of 3 inches. Black with white spots, his tail fin is pointy at the tips. So what do you all think he is? Mods hope it's ok to post this here if not let me know where you move it. Thanks everyone.

Congrats. Stress free is the way to be.

You should explain to her why Andie. Don't most test have +/- margin of error? So if that's the case with nitrates, she should be ok.

My umbi loved spiders

It's an itsy bitsy spider trying to climb up the spider web. But don't worry down will come the rain and wash the spider away. Just be careful if the sun comes up and dries up all the rain.

WOW! You are passionate. I have kept, bred and ruined aquariums since I was a child. I am old now. I do not consider myself an expert. But have been through all the trials and tribulations spoken about in this forum. I have even been banned for calling moderators out on there decisions or...

I just don't like my water all dark. It's why we spend hundreds on filtration and regular PWC to keep our tanks sparkling clear. Unless your creating an authentic biotope.

Doesn't bleach start to dissipate easily? I have never had an issue with rinsing off the bleach. It whitens them a bit at first. But the dark color returns to the wood. It does also help with expediting the tannin release. Here is a piece I am working on now.

Nice piece by the way. I see your already weighing it down. The more you rinse and change the water the faster you'll get rid of the tannins. If it does t seem to get better than it might not be right for your aquarium.

Done this a couple times. I change the water every time it changes color. Those are the woods tannins being released. Once a week is not enough. You should also have something already weighing it down. It will help with it getting completely saturated. Your should also power wash it or scrub it...

I can tell you my female got almost a solid black and my males colors got bright when they get ready to breed.

My last pair of JDs bred at 2.5" to 3" range. They were about 4 month old. First three batches they ate them. But bred consistently every 6 weeks.
