Awesome! Thank you so much. I'm a little worried about the water going all over the place and shaking him up too much. I guess I should make sure that I have a passenger to hold onto him while I move for extra care. As far as a bucket, I'm worried he's gunna freak out and try to jump out of...

I am moving to a different town in a few days and I have a 2 inch pleco in a 30 gallon tank. I know that I'll have to upgrade or find a new home for him. This isn't what I am worried about. I need to know the best way to move with him. I've seen people saying things about putting the fish in a...

Thank you so much.. I'm glad to know that I have the help and support or other fish owners out there. I originally bought the fish for my daughter, and while she was excited the first day, I have found myself more involved with them than she has been! She does watch the pleco everyday and checks...

I don't know how to dechlorinate!! I don't know how to do anything lol I've been told that because I can't get a test kit right away that I can do 50% water changes because of the cloudiness in my tank.. Well today it's 1/4 as cloudy as it has been, so that makes me feel better. I planned to do...

This whole fish thing really has me upset. The LFS never gave us any information about these fish, just that they would be fine together and that they all ate the same food. I'm pretty sure this is part of the reason that my others have died. And now to find out that I'm going to have a small...

voo.. :( He looks like a common.. lol Oh well.. I guess I'll have to make plans in the future to upgrade.. but for now I'll just continue to let him grow. He's gorgeous by the way. :D

I really hope so! And maybe when he/she grows a little more then I can figure out what it is exactly.. I would really like to keep it.. and since it's so small, then I can get away with keeping it for awhile. I had watermelon in the tank over night and just took it out about 2 hours ago because...

He's not as 'clear' as some of the ones that I googled.. and he doesn't have those 'feeler' things all over his mouth and nose.. But I don't know anything about fish, so I'll just leave it up to you lol

In the one where you can see his belly, you can also see how cloudy my water is... :(

Hope you guys can see this.. it's on my facebook. :/

Nevermind.. he's a common. He has those little 'antenna' looking things in front of his eyes.. I google imaged a common.. and he's pretty small so it's hard to tell, but he does have those things like the other ones that popped up when I googled him

Let me try to take a picture of him.. and you guys can maybe tell me what kind he is.. I didn't realize that there were SO many different types.. and at the pet store they just say pleco on them.. also, I believe these were the only plecos that they had there. Hopefully he isn't going to be HUGE...

How do I dechlorinate without having any chemicals or anything? I would have to go 30 minutes away to get to the nearest pet store for them to test my water, and that would probably have to wait a week or two. :/

Okay.. and that means empty half the water out and put in new... right?

Okay ... I can probably get away with the ammonia for $1 lol but the test kit would have to wait. :/ What should I do about my cloudy looking water? A water change? I'm scared to do anything because I don't want to kill my pleco on top of it! Could I put him in the five gallon while I do the...

If I were to use the shrimp in place of the ammonia, and my tank smells, would the water changes help to get rid of the smell ??

@Jen.. Ahh, stunting.. okay I get it. Well... I'll keep him for awhile and see.. I've wanted to get a bigger tank but starting out the the 29 gallon seemed to make a little more sense to me instead of getting a 55 gallon on the first try. Doesn't it take them awhile to grow so big.. ? I've read...

I did research all day yesterday about the fish that I had so that I cold do my best to accomodate them.. We planned on getting some mollies and a pleco and when we got to the store, we found way better fish and chose to get them. The guy never told us how big the shark and dojo would be, but I...

The other day we went out and bought a tank, supplies and fish. I bought an irridescent shark about 2", a gold dojo about 2.5" and a pleco, I think it's a common... he's about 2.5" too. The tank is a 29 gallon tank and we bought it when we bought the fish. I know that we were supposed to cycle...
