    Tiger plecos

    Its been a while since I've posted but I thought I'd share a few picks of my tiger plecos (Panaque L002). My apologies for the dirty glass in one pic but I'm a little careful when working around them at the moment. One of the boys The girls The result
  5. I haven't had geos for a long time but I do have a couple of royals, one quite large. They are both food hogs but if you put the food down in more than one area of the tank it doesn't seem to be a problem. The main scuffles are with my big goldie pleco and my large royal but they pretty much leave the others alone.
  6. congratulations and good luck with the rearing. They are certainly cute.
  7. Its a very brightly coloured, and great looking carp. I've caught ones that colour (on a fishing rod :oops:), though much smaller in the Waikato River. Its a very large fish for a koi, but I've no doubt the photo is real. He probably held it out in front slightly to make it look a little bigger. Theres a big fishery for trophy carp in Europe and it think the world record is about 90lb. They very big ones are often a lot uglier than that one. Theres plenty of carp fishing articles on the net with pictures of very big fish. http://www.dynamitebaits.com/index.php?id=963
  8. great looking fish. I'd also be interested in some juvies further down the track. Fishroom is almost operational so that means more tanks
  9. I had him (the royal) since May 2007 when he was 11.5 cm. They can grow quick. Hes slowed down but is now 24 cm
  10. Chocolate zebras (Hypancistrus sp. L270) and King tigers (Hypancistrus sp. L066) are great looking, omnivores, and only grow to about 15 cm. You should be able to pick up a chocolate zebra and possibly a king tiger for under your budget.
  11. great photos and good luck with the breeding
  12. Another great read Caryl. I think the Matt finish is fine. You could always see if its possible to get a glossy cover but it looks fine to me.
  13. Congratulations thats great news
  14. Maxines looking great and no doubt wont be that hungry for a while. Great photos Stella.
  15. Try yams for your veggie eating plecos. My royal plecos love them and they don't seem to rot if not eaten in a day or two.
  16. Great work. The males certainly a stunner
  17. Awesone bristlenose guys. Goodluck with the breeding
  18. thanks Cesar. Yes it was from Hutt Pets
  19. Congratulations. They are some great looking little fish and enough for an FNZAS breeding certificate
  20. Thanks guys. I've had a look and based on the small pointy tip and hammered it looks like it is E. parviflorus. I'll get a pic shortly and post it here to confirm.
