| Here's another few pictures of my new fancy pleco. I'll post the exact name later.
One of them's terrible , but hey, there's no minimum quality requirements, LOL. I like it because you see the shrimp being nosy. The piece of driftwood used to be the shrimps' HQ, and got taken over by her since this week-end.
If you look upclose, you'll see how hairy she is! True sign of a night fish, hey. |

| Those are both really cool plecos I'm looking forward to my Queen Arabesque in the new year, even though it'll be very expensive..
Here is a photo I took today of Yuri eating some courgette, flanked by his attendant Bolivian rams. 
And another one; I just love the expression on the ram's face!  | |

| Here is a closeup of my new bristlenose, my first one. This photo was taken about 2 hours after his release into my tank. He was pretty stressed apparently and it shows in his altered color. 
He has since regained his nice dark brown coloration and is occassionally venturing out of his hiding place to explore the rest of the tank. | |

| He seems to be doing better now. He's out exploring, even in the light. Seems when he isn't hiding he likes attaching to the front glass on the same side as the filter.
From what I have read on Planetcatfish his position in the tank makes sense as they like the water flow. And I saw that some plecos change colors like a chameleon to react to stress or surroundings. (Amazing what I can learn when I read ) He is changing fairly often. When he is in hiding he is dark brown and out - light brown with a pattern.
Hope you like the photos. | |

| Everyone's pics are just gorgeous. Hope you will keep them coming.
Here's my Rio Ucayali, posing nicely for once and showing the weird soccer ball pattern on his head.  | |

| My new BN Pleco that we picked up today. It is about 5 inches long and pretty big. I have another that is around 3.5 inches but its hiding right now and cannot get a good photo yet. It blends in with the driftwood.
What do you think? will it do the job on my algae?

| [quote=Barbrella;358681]Is that Species 3? Did you get him at a petstore? I"m surprised he's so big, since most petstores sell them as babies and don't usually have them long enough for them to get big.
They should certainly do a very good job on your algae! [/quote
Hi Barbrella
I dont know what Species 3 is? I bought them at a fish store that was not a chain store petstore and this place has a lot of large mature fish there. I measured the larger one and he is just about 5 inches from head to end of tail. the other one is smaller around 3.5 or so.
Here are two photos that may help you to help me identify this BN? and can you let me know what the species 3 is?  thanks! | |

| Mine looks exactly like this, incl the lack of bristles!
I also think yours is a variety of Ansistrus sp3. Maybe this..

| I just found out my plecos like green peppers, but I must try some watermelon!
Lots of great pics! Goggles, that was indeed a lovely fish.
