Please use this topic to post your Pleco photos. I'll leave it stickied so it appears at the top of the posts.

Thanks,
Mike

These were my common plecos. I had to give them back to a fish store as my biggest tank was a 150L. Please nobody tell me now that that was enough space, as it was a heartbreaking decision to part with one of them in particular (the small one). Ah well, here's hoping they found a better home.*

The first picture shows my favorite pleco. He always came out, night or day, and wasn't bothered at all when I was cleaning the tank.

The second and third pictures shows the two slightly larger plecos I had. One of them was a slightly paler brown. They hardly ever came out of hiding, though.

Here is a picture of my baby, he's getting up there in age and gave me quite a scare, he was very sick and I am really grateful he is still here and healing up nicely. He is approximately 10-12 years old and about 10 inches long. He loves to eat beefheart and brineshrimp. Recently, thanks to a couple of other posters, I introduced cucumber in his diet and seems to really like it.

Have a good night, Lisa

Here is my baby:

Here is a pleco I saw at a vets office. It was huge. I had my camera with me so I had to take a few pics.

Here's my BN baby. I've had him a week or so. He's doing a dubious job at cleaning the algae but hey, he's so cute.

One thing's for sure, the boy's not constipated.

gremlin

Here's a pic of mine - I have him in an outdoor pond (150 gal) so the only time I can get pics of him is when I do a cleaning. Usually all I see is his tail sticking out from under the big flat rock he likes to hide under... He was about 4 inches when I got him from my sister may-june 2007. He is now 11 inches long...he shares with two chinese algae eaters and multiple goldfish and mosquito fish.

My BN pleco, he is about 1/2 - 3/4 of an inch long and he spends most of his time under neath or behind that black box (it holds my filter and heater.)

He's really cute, Jack. Mine used to hang around dark objects too, he seemed to feel more secure there. I wonder if an albino BN would behave in the same way.

Mine's totally disappeared 2 weeks ago, and I really fear the worst now. I looked all over the tank, removed the decorations, and nothing.
