PLECOS!! share yours

[noaksey4121]

My little babies! They’re still so cute and tiny at the moment, but absolute poop machines

 

[Johnny9s]

Here are my 3 plecos. Creamsicle, mango smoothy and their baby pudding pop.

Jamal was feeling playful today, thought I’d share some photos

 

[shattles10]

Clown pleco, not even an inch big, rarely see this little guy

 

[Mistacliff]

Oh cool… really neat…thanks for rubbing it in.
I would love to share a pic of my pleco, but I literally NEVER see it. I know he’s in there.
WORST, FISH, EVER! lol

 

[JLeeM]

I got a new pleco yesterday and branched out from all my various bristlenose. I got what I'm fairly sure is a male L260 (Queen Arabesque). He's already about 3ish inches. Picture was from acclimation.

 

[BigManAquatics]

Boss HOGG, just hangin' around.

 

[John58ford]

The little clown may not be fish of the month but he sure fits in here.

Hmm I thought I posted the new Cactus pics. I'm not seeing them.
Must have posted them somewhere else.
Stayed up late and plecos came out for food even though the light was not off.
First pic is the big cactus. The next 3 are how fast he can dig a new burrow. That last one shows a small cactus that fled the log when the new burrow was dug.

Here's my new daddy Super Red. I have only seen his face once in the past ten days. He's been diligently fanning his eggs.

 

[MCMLXXXVII]

4 out of 5 plecos all grouped up, rubber lip was being grumpy. The clown pleco bosses all the bristlenose around.

 

[CHJ]

OK looks like I was wrong. I saw some pleco drama happening in the grow out tank. Big pleco drama.
Turns out the 2 having a disagreement were both significantly bigger than the previously posted "the big cactus", it is actually the second smallest or 3rd if I have 5 of them in there.
This is the actual big boy. Much thicker than that other cactus. Sadly his color (the orange) is not full fin/tail.

My Vampire Pleco's lair with a few Blue-eyed Lemon Bristlenose babies buzzing about. What you can't see is the Columbian Zebra and my Queen Arabesque has also joined the Vamp under the wood. The Lemon male is a really good papa.

 

[CHJ]

Chubby because everyone loves chubbies.
It hasn't grown at all since I got it.

My 2 BN girlie's

Mr. Jamal enjoying some evening zucchini next to his handmade namesake cave. Does he use the cave? Of course not
(Don’t worry, the cave was claimed by the kuhli loaches)

 

[New2fishlovinit]

I love my clown plecos little wood chewers.

so tiny when I first got them!

and the there were 2

 

[Leeman75]

My two guys chomping on cucumber at opposite ends of the tank. They each get their own cucumber, but have to share with the Rainbow Cichlids, EBAs, and Angel.

Here's Plucky the super red bristlenose, he/she still fairly young

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.

I love weeds! I just lost my pleco pal of nine years. Sad,but the memories are joyful!

 

[John58ford]

I'm pretty sure the baby bristlenose I bought a few months ago aren't babies anymore. There's another long fin and a standard in here from the same breeder too but these two pal around allot.



In a different tank the clown felt like sitting still long enough for a (almost focused) photo, so it was a rare day.

 

[ADFbreeder]

Here’s Charlie (Female)!
(Same plant, two different days. She’s extremely shy, these are one of the few pleco sightings, and the only ones I had my phone with me on.)

Edit: Spelling

 

[PeterFishKeepin]

Digger (male) BN pleco, loves digging in the sand, hence the name.

I'm not much of a Pleco afficianado, but that one is really cool! What kind is it?

 

[86 ssinit]

It’s 3.5”. Yeah I couldn’t believe the price either. Even the rili shrimp are about $10 each at my normal stores. 5 for 15 was a no brainer .
It a green phantom pleco.

 

[Linda1234]

This is one of my little L397. They were around $40 each:


It is next to a Pangio shelfordii; these are similar to khuli loaches but significantly smaller - maybe 1/3-1/5 the diameter of a kuhli and a wee bit shorter. They get alone just dandy.

 

[CHJ]

L397.. 40$.. they are 100$ (200?) for tank bred and 300$ for wild caught here.
I also like the splotchy loach.

Paying the pleco tax.
Cactus picking a fight. Another large male is right in front of it.

Not sure what this one was doing. probably about to pick a fight as it is out side a log.

Maybe thinking about picking a fight.


I really have to remember to turn off all the air before taking pics.

My newest bn pleco, still a youngin'

My x2 L134 Leopard Frog Plecos

This little guy is finally growing his mustache out, with fins oh my.

Is that a Wabenmuster ? Doesn't look like one but not a clear enough picture of the pattern to guess the species.
