whats the pleco? how big will it get?

 

[Efren]

my lfs told me it's the "yellow spot" although can't find ID of a yellow spot
looks like a common pleco to me-- but i hope not- cause it will be too big
for my tank when time comes--

i found a very similar photo - "mustard spot"
but it grows to a max 13cm--

but i'm still not sure yet-- so if anyone
can ID my pleco it would be greaaaat!!!!

 

[Nick16]

lks nice tho! lets hope its not a common. im after a pleco but i dont want anything that will get massive? maybe a bulldog or a brislenose somehting that might eat algae as well. any recommendations. it will be in a 120ltr with nothing else aggressive just tetras and livebearers.

 

[Efren]

yup-- hope it's not common--
there's a queen arabesque pleco and emperor pleco in my list
before-- either of them will look nice in your tank.

but it's hard to find in my area-- my only option is online
which i don't approve to.. (too risky)

try looking here: http/www.tropicalfish4u.co.uk/Fish/Freshwater/Plecos
but don't trust the site okay-- i only use it for photos references.

-goodluck-

Not too keen on the gravel...a darker substrate would also show off your fish colours better too whats that rock you have??..i like it

 

[catfish101]

i've been to my LFS today and she
insisted that it's a yellow spotted pleco
it grows to 6inch max...

so i think i'm a little bit over stocked..
or maybe "just" - cause i'm tranferring the gouramis to
a new tank - - - i'll put GBR in this one and make it a SA Tank --

thanks...

i am planning of changing the gravel- (darker one)
jetblack preferrably---
it will show off the color of the gouramis even better..
