Rhino plecostomus approx 12" long I will post a few better photos when I get home!!

 

[JKCichlids]

All good

This is my Pleco chillin.

 

[fishpatch]

I tried to get better picks but he was on the back wall of the tank and the chiclids of doom kept photo bombing me

I purchased this rhino approx a week a go he was kept in a tank with pacus at the store and was not being fed very well. When I introduced him to the tank I could see he was hungry but he didn't acknowledge the vegetables at all. Surprisingly on day 5 I dropped a juicy succulent cucumber in there and he found out what it was!!! He is now putting on weight and taking almost anything that falls to the bottom. Even better he is slightly territorial so when the chiclids try to take his vegetables, he rams them the out of his way!

This is Bartholomew, I believe him to be a leopard sailfin pleco. He was not bought as such and is growing like the most loveliest majestic weed in my little dainty tank. New home pending lol. I love him.

[Taritus]

Hers a update of my little pirate, it's gotten a lot better (could someone also tell me what kind it is?)

He looks like a common sailfish pleco but I'm no expert
Technical name: pterygoplichthys multiradiatus
If u want to read about them : )

 

[LeoDiaz]

[Taritus]

Best friends
Added rocks from my friends old tarantula tank he didn't want and they seem to love them

 

[LeoDiaz]

You can alway fit one more fish or tank lol

 

[Quibbles]

Ha ha, meet Bris. Bris is evil and massacred my tank. I still love her.

 

[Dave125g]

aliray's suggestion, I am putting a pic of our pleco here to be IDed!

This is our grandma's pleco that we recently adopted. She has had it for a very long time, I'll have to ask her the exact date but definitely 7 years+ after reading more on this post I have gone out to buy it lots of wafers and veggies to bulk him up. I didn't even know fishes ate fruits and veggies! I'm still looking for driftwood though. He/she is roughly between 6.5-6.8 inches atm.

Looks like a common sail fin pleco

Common, P. multiradiatus.

My little buddy came out for pictures and the rams (mostly) stayed out of the way!

 

[tokiodreamy]

Only photo I have currently.
My new BN pleco! Not sure on gender yet so they don't have a name currently. They're only about 1.25-1.75in so I'm patiently waiting for that 3in mark.

I got them about 2-4 weeks ago and I had the HARDEST time trying to feed them! They passed up pellets, wafers, and veg! Would only glass surf and wouldn't stay in an area too long. I FINALLY witnessed them eat an algae wafer a day ago! *phew* makes me feel better that I'm actually seeing them eat... now the real challenge... getting them to eat their veggies! We'll see what happens!

Update:

SUCCESS!

 

[shusband]

Clown plecos are always hiding.

One of my little girls eating dinner

 

[TheKiwi]

This is as far as I got before spooking my lil guy away. He's just lurking near the cucumber while alternating gnawing on the driftwood

Edit to add:
I FINALLY GOT A NICE FULL SIDE SHOT HEHEHEHEHE

 

[Demontay1]

The one with the spots ?? That would be a spotted Raphael.

 

[RandyS8229]

Here's my common. Nothing special. I had a green phantom but he didn't survive the recent chaos.

 

[Maci14]

Here's my 12"+ that I "rescued" from my mothers' way too small tank, lol. In my eyes he's a monster, but we've had bigger.

 

[sarah13berry]

any idea what sex my clown pleco could be?

lemon bristlenose

 

[Dave125g]

View attachment 198870 any idea what sex my clown pleco could be?

Appears to be a female, males have spikes on their sides the length of the body. If you can get a picture from the top I can tell for sure

 

[aliray]

Yeah ours does too... but we also have a lemon bristlenose he is way more friendly 

In the picture your lemon BN looks like a female. How big is she because I don't see any bristles. Alison

 

[sarah13berry]

He definitely has bristles just starting to come all around his top lip... he's still just a baby so they aren't visible yet. I can try get a close up of his nose.. it's the clown plec we were having trouble with but considering how smooth it appears to be that suggests it is possibly female

you can just see them starting to come on his top lip. He is just a baby

 

[TexasDomer]

Peckoltia braueri
I think he's a male as he has ondontodes on his pectoral fins and the back half of his body. Will try to get a better pic one day! He's mostly nocturnal.

EDIT: Don't know what the white dots are in the pic. He doesn't have white dots on him.

 

[Demontay1]

Dinner time for Simba haha

[Taritus]

Haven't posted in a while but my little man or woman is getting bigger
Also the sailfin is getting more active since I got silver dollars to act as dither fish

 

[Dave125g]

My chubby little clown munching on some zucchinI

Wow what is that holding the zucchini? Where can I get 1?

 

[aliray]

That is a veggie clip, Petco carries them they keep them near the seaweed sheets in a pkg for fish to eat. Alison

[nickbuilder09]

I don't even know what this one is... my girlfriend just brought it home and put it in her tank. Anyone got any ideas? He is cool looking!

 

[aaron0g]
