Yer but for my display would look awesome

[Bowdy]

I agree there amazing. Especially when there young and fed on brine shrimp there spots are pink.
There my favourite plec. Il be getting some in few months.

[Bickley]

So does that mean you know who has fry for sale then Bowdy ?

If you want just one for display then put a WTB on plecoplanet for one. You might have to ship one from over east even. A large male will most likely set you back up to a grand but still cheaper than a female.

Awesome!

[bigjohnnofish]

just to tease you a little bit KV.... these are breeding stock... might be some little ones available in a month or two... 

 

 

and a pic of some fry from quite a while ago... pink hue was only achieved feeding posaqua baby brine when they were actually putting a significant amount of baby brine in their packs... nowadays spots are only white... prob colour feed another food to get the pink spots happening again but adult spots go yellowy/white anyway....

 

 

enjoy....

Someone said You were the Plecos King, keep me in the loop mate I'm slowly getting back to fresh water again. I will never walk away from Marine but.

Very nice johnno. Most people are surprised when they find out how large they are when mature. 25-30cm for a mature male!!!

[bigjohnnofish]

although i havent seen many over 25cm... you hear of it overseas though.....

 

lot of these medium - medium big size plecos have long life spans so give it time they will all get bigger

I have recently seen a group of these in a tank with a black substrate. They looked amazing!

The base colour was about as black as you can get and the yellow spots were so vivid they looked like they'd been painted on.

Wish I had my camera with me.....Oh and the permission of the owner.
