Here's my prized green phantom pleco

 

[HUKIT]

Looks awesome, great looking example!

 

[Darylb]

Breed it and send me a baby haha

 

[cgthebeast]

Haha, double that offer Beautiful plec, great colors

 

[BLUElobster99]

Breeding is a real hassle ive heard


But when i move it into a new 75 in september i might consider it lol

Im only 14 and they go for 40-60 a pop so i would have to be really serious about it to get another. But the prospect of having the fry is exciting. And profitable if its successful $$$$$ lol

 

[cgthebeast]

Haha, wow. I`m 15 but I don`t have anything like that haha

 

[BLUElobster99]

Well like a good boy I used my birthday money

 

[BLUElobster99]

Here's a great pic of the spotted pattern


Can't wait for it to mature so they the pattern becomes brighter and more defined

 

[cgthebeast]

Haha, I used mine on a SW tank

 

[BLUElobster99]

Best looking pleco next to the blue panaque IMO


And yes the panaque is my dream fish next to the black ghost knife (WHICH IM GETTING FOR MY NEW 75 IN A FEW MONTHS)

 

[cgthebeast]

BGs are awesome, great personalty. I like the zebra or the gold nuggets but I`m broke haha

Nice phantom! I love mine to pieces. Its a 6" female if youre planning on breeding them, ill send you my girl for free on the condition you get fry out of them haha. If you cant, id be willing

 

[cgthebeast]

Haha, if you need homes for a few fry in thee future

[BLUElobster99]

[BLUElobster99]

Right now I have him setup in a 25 with some barbs
And yeah it's got an under gravel so bring on the hate


He just reached 4inches so i can't wait to get a larger tank

And just a comment, this guy loves he circulation pump I have in there!

The odontodes. My female lacks the little spikes on the front fins and at the base of the tail.

Your phantom lacks them too but i think its still a juvie so wed gave to wait and see.

I also heard that males have the more defined spotted pattern but idk

Theres pretty good flow in their native habitat, and i love the setup, i need a "unique" wood piece for my tank.
