My Queen arabesque pleco L260

 

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!

 

These are some photos of my new Pleco. LFS called it a Yellow Seam Pleco, from research this is either a Mango or a Gold Nugget.
Either way, he is a teeny thing at about 3 inches long and hanging out everywhere that a photo is impossible lol.
These are only chance photos... not the best, but will have too do til he moves around the tank more.

 

Figured I'd add to the ALL great photos of plecos, here's my newest addition! Bristlenose

 

this is Sucker, our resident Pleco in one of our 10 gallon tanks

 

my cute bn pleco

 

my albino bristlenose pleco

 

Not entirely sure what sort of pleco this is, the guy at the shop did say but it wasn't a common name he said. But guessing by other pictures its a bristlenose of some sort. He said also that it won't get much bigger so more evidence of being a BN. If any pleco expert knows for sure please enlighten me.

2 New Additions--Need Help on Type of Pleco

My 2 new additions.....Still trying to figure out what type of Pleco bought them @ my local Petsmart. They had no clue as to the type and just labeled them both as common plecos; but I am still dumbfounded. They are both about an inch long.

I'm having a hard time identifying this guys. I was told he is a sailfin plec...but I'd really like to know what the latin name for him his so I can figure out how big he is going to get. Help!

 

L137 Blue eye Red fin pleco

 

Here's my Albino Sailfin Pleco. He should be leaving me tomorrow which will reduce the poo load significantly.

 

Here's mine: (He passed away a few weeks after this was taken)

 

Baby albino bristlenose.... 1/4" long.

 

This is my first albino BN and I went today and got two more. I'm hoping when they are old enough to sex that I will have a male and a female in the three. Cross your fingers for me! Still trying to find someone to help me ID them.

 

My 12-13 inch Sail Fin Pleco






My 2-3 inch young male BN Pleco


I also have another BN that I have no photos of as he/she is very shy.

 

Say hello to "The Dark Knight". I figured it was the perfect name for him when I found out that he was always hanging upside down under be bridge I have and would only come out at night. Still don't know what type he is and I've had him for about 5 months and he hasn't gotten any bigger. Any helping I.D.-ing him would be great.

Hey that's the same as mine

 

This is my big pleco, I got him for 5 dollars at the local store and never knew he would grow so big, He has been SO much fun to watch get bigger and bigger. We call him "vacuum" because when the algae wafers get added, he comes out and vacuums them up fast He is in a 55 gallon community tank and about 10 inches now.

 

new bristlennose plec, baby only about 1.5inches
