pleco

Hi Advice needed please. My pleco has a large portion of skin on his back that has peeled off. At first I thought it could be slightly burned as he mostly hides behind the heater. But as its worsened I fear it could be an infection. I am adding rock salt to the tank regularly, doing water...

So about 2 months ago I noticed weird stuff growing around the nose of my younger brothers pleco, I've owned several plecos before and never seen this, and I wasn't to worried about it someone told me it means its male, but recently its spread more and I was wondering I'd I should be concerned...

Anybody know what this white growth is on the underside of this Pleco?

I'm looking for a pleco to go in my 240 gallon fish tank. Preferably a big one that can live without others but I put a couple of small ones there anyway. Please vote and I'll release the results in a month. Please vote for my other fish too!

So I got a bristlenose pleco from a store several hours away. I have it now so no returning it or anything and I’m already in love. I have a 5 gallon tank with a super chill male betta in it. It is fully cycled and my tests have been pretty consistent so I went to the store to get a snail or...

A while back I forgot to turn off the heater during a water change - I caught it pretty quickly but the shock killed most of the fish in the tank. Looking at the heater filter cord and all the other cords around it - they basically melted. Then, around the same time, we were working on my new...

I've been wanting a red male betta for the past few months and finally set myself to the task of preparing for one. Lots of reading and a 20 gallon tank later and I found myself searching through three different pet stores, but none of the betta were calling out to me. I ended up going home with...

Hello everyone! I’ve recently noticed this injury/sore on my gold Bristlenose and I have no idea what it is.. I can’t find anything online that looks similar so I’m really worried. he’s super shy and I barely ever get to see his belly and certainly don’t usually get close enough to the tank to...

I have a Jack Dempsey cichlid and a Florida pleco in a 29g tank. Both are about 3.5 to 4 inches long. The Jack Dempsey has been extremely aggressive to every other fish in the tank except for the pleco and a convict cichlid that was in his tank when I first got him (who has since died). He is...

Hi, I’m new to this but I could use some advice. I have had established tanks in the past but I currently am seeing something I’ve never seen before. I got two bristlenose plecs one is definitely more dominant and a lot bigger in growth rate. It’s this one I would like to know about, since...

Heya, me again! The hubs and I are really worried that our lfs sold us a different kinds of plecos instead of a bristle nose. They are very young, ~2 inches, and the hubs says they could be both female so we wouldn't see the big bristles, but I'm not convinced. The pictures aren't the greatest...

Hello! I have a common pleco in a 29 gal (along with just 1 female Betta because I have a sorority but she was too aggressive for everyone else but she's been good with Tom the plecosTOMus) anyway, recently Tom has been acting really odd. At times he will be super still, not even sucking on...
