pleco

The other day , i spotted a baby bristlenose pleco in my tank (65 G). I have 2 bristlenoses, one is a male and one a female. My worry is that I have 3 red taled sharks and 4 gouramis. I also have some oher fish but from what I know, they're harmless. I need to now if the shars or gouramis will...

Hi, I'm new here and i just want to know what kind of pleco is my fish. The pet store said it was an albino pleco. I wanna know what kind of pleco it is so i will know its full length. It is currently 2.2 inches in length.

I will soon be getting a 75 gallon tank. I am planning on putting a Senegal Bichir in it and have been trying to find possible tankmates for it. I was thinking of Dwarf Petricola catfish, Neolamprologus Bricari, Neolamprologus leleupi, Julidochromis, and maybe an African knife fish. I was also...

Hi, I bought two What I was told was two common Plecos, as I’m quite new to fish I didn’t question it, I’ve had them for about a year with 4 goldfish and two Apple snails, I’ve only just recently discovered as I tried to identify the breed of pleco, that they are infact Chinese Algae eaters...

Hi, Can anyone suggest treatment for my bristlenose catfish. Tail is rotting. Bristles on face are fine. Other catfish in tank has no issues. Tank is 150L. No other fish in tank (tetras) have any fin issues. Tail has been slowly deteriorating for weeks. I've tried methylene blue dip/bath for 10...

Hello all I have a 14 gallon tank, 6 tiger barbs and 6 white tetras plus a pleco. I came from work to find the pleco finishing off one of the tiger barbs! I didnt see that it was sick or anything and the others look ok. Why did it die? Did my pleco kill it?

My mother lives in South Yorkshire and she has had a Pleco for about 5 years. He has outgrown his tank and he really needs a new home with a bit more space. I'm be a expert, but he seems healthy and a beautiful creature. I would be very grateful if somebody is able to take him.

I have 2 tanks, 40G & 75G. Small one just has 18" long pleco, big one has 6 discus fish in it. I bought 12 Hemigrammus erythrozonus & 10 Mikrogeophagus ramirezi. In which tank should I put them? I was planing to add tetras to pleco & rams to discus. But now I second guessing what if pleco will...

Hi everyone, My name is Skye Phan. I have a 50 gallon tank with 3 medium size bala sharks, a 5" common pleco, a 2" albino bristlenose pleco, 5 longfin zera danios, 4 neon tetras (I had nine, but they have neon tetra disease. I am hoping to replace these with more danios), 6 albino cory catfish...

Hi! Could you tell me what type of Pleco this is? is it a common Pleco that grows massive? Thank you Tracey :)

I am new to the hobby and I have done a lot of research on keeping fish but I just can't figure out why my little pleco died(he was on the top of the tank when I woke up this morning). His belly wasn't sunken in and I saw him eating last night after I turned the tank light off, he was quite...

Hello everyone! I'm nowhere near close to setting up the tank, stand is still being built and needs to be cleaned out of all the sand and stuff, but i'm in the process of trying to find some fish i can put in there, will be keeping it around the 24C temperature mark. so far i'm thinking of...

A few months ago, I bought a nerite snail that apparently had some bladder snails eggs on its shell. My tank has hundreds of them now. I've since decided to shut down this tank. But question - I have a rubber lip pleco in this tank, is it possible he will carry any eggs over to the new tank...

Hey everyone, So I've had this hobby for quite some time now, I started around 5 or 6 years ago with little success and just last year started taking it seriously and putting a good amount of time and money into this hobby, but I just recently have become interested in plecos. They're just so...

Hi there, sorry I've been so busy I didn't have much time to drop by. My bf wanted a pleco so badly, so I bought one. The guy at my LPS sold me a "common pleco" for 8 bucks. He's a little bit less than 3 inches long. He currently lives in my new 55 gallons with 8 corys and 5 kuhlis. I read...

I was optimistic about getting MTS snails for my planted 10 gallon, It would be a nice addition to my tank, After some research I have concluded that they are Sudible even crucial for my setup, so I did what any person would do when their LFS did not have something they wanted: Go to Amazon. I...

I have some transparent eggs, there are three of them and they are just resting on the gravel in my tank, I don't know what they have come from.. I have guppies in my tank one female which has just welcomed me with 14 fry, I also have a pleco approx 2/3 inches long and I have an African dwarf...

Hello , I am fairly new to fish keeping and if you have seen my other thread i did not get off to a good start. This time it is a question about my 75ltr tank and my 2 plecos that currently live in it. I have just managed to rescue my tank from NTS and i am worried about one f my plecos. He...

Just lost one of my bn plecos I've had for 3months, after hydrogenperoxide treatment for algea noticed the older of the 2 started to look fat, thought nothing of it as behavior seemed normal, continued algea treatments and pleco continued to get fat, today roughly 4 days after treatment, dead...

Please help! I woke this morning to find my pleco swimming strangely on the bottom not attached to any surfaces like she usually is. She is very pale in color and I immediately moved her to a hospital tank with clean water and fresh filter cartridge, bare bottom no decorations of anything. I...
