i want to see actual pics of fancy plecos people keep here

adult if possible

i cant decide on which one:D

i think scarlet plecos would be your kind of plec tho henward :lol:

why is that?

flagtails?

are those the ones with one eye ? lol

yep a rare breed of cyclops flagtails 8)

scarlets grow big lol and still look good im sure they would suit your setups

Dont royal panaques get quite big too? And they still look real cool.

yeah thats what i heard

i have a royal already -

but i was considering a scarlet too.

but the scarlet almost looks like a normal pleco with red fins... hence why i like the royal

but those spotted ones are nice though.

cactus plecs look mean when large

looks similar to the scarlet but reversed in colour:D lol

lda33 the ones in my pik with big poker dots they get prety big one of my fav plecs

the first pic?

do they retain their colour when older?

i bought a angelicus synodontis

i must admit

it looks like sh it , its full grown

and in pictures hen young they are gorgeous

i got it, the skin is brow nish with faded dots, i actually dont like it

i only keep it cos my gf thikgs its cute how it acts lol

lol yea stays black with white dots

haha guts about the syno :lol:

well its cool

i mean it is novelty

it looks like skeletor as a catfish

its bony obstruction from its body and stuff and head

it really is novelty

nd it cleans up the tank well after the jardinii has eated and shredded food, and it survives the jardiniii which is a plus.

how much are those ones ? are they panaques or the ones that eat more algae?

you selling?

i want ones that retain colour as they get old

If anything they will get more definite black and white as they grow.

They'll get about 25cm eventually.

Same genus as gold nugget- omnivore

Nice fish.

Ah! Re-read.

The first pic is L168- Butterfly or flounder plec. Will only get to 10c-12cm.

Algae eater and colouring can change quite dramatically on different backgrounds or stressed

Mine has grown very quickly. Keep on persisting with the algae wafers. Mine eats plenty of them. Seems to prefer Hikari but will eat other brands. Give them heaps of cover (bogwood) as well as they are relatively shy. If you buy another one look for ones that are in good condition, i.e. eating well. They are sometimes imported a little on the skinny side.
