love how you take such care of them

high nitrate = do a water change

I think he is referring to the white tail on the top LHS

I thought i was THE list for the clowns :lol:

If I do breed them, I would keep the first batch, send some to kiwiplymouth and mr. pleco (if he needs them) first, so we can keep these here in NZ for as long as possible, and then finally sell the second batch. it's a long process i hear, but i will keep everyone on here in mind, but not counting chickens just yet.

It is most definitely mine! :lol: I think it is a `Rio Ucayali` - however it is important to mention that these came in as spotted bristlenoses Ancistrus dolichopterus - which they are not. so i suppose there is debate about calling them Rio's - though I think they are that - ive posted pics on PC and people think they are that too. with Ancistrus species it is hard for a definite ID without knowing for certain what part of the river they came from. They are sourced from NZ suppliers. They are in my big tank, no need for a species tank - too small. all my other plecos are in the same tank. looks like the chocs are getting it on already. http://www.planetcatfish.com/catelog/im ... ge_id=9190

my pick would be highways. big speculative guess though.

yeah, they should be fine together. BGK will eat the eggs if they breed though.

6 Chocolate Zebra's 5 oranda goldfish Four cardinal tetras Three firebelly newts Two furry snails and a whistler in a pohutikawa tree!!

and today I got 6 L270's and 1 more L066 They look lovely in the tank

thanks. yep. that was S.I schist. I gave a whole lot away when the dems got taken to a new home.

I would have thought heat was the last issue here. It get freezing cold in a majority of the area where they originate from (I've seen these guys in the wild). They are nocturnal are they not? I was told they hide during the day in cool spots to get away from the sun and come out at night to get food. maybe a simple thermostat would solve the problem.

I'm surprised the ocean has not been mentioned yet. :lol: also leaves you with lakes, streams and what have you. But i got all of mine from a landscaping place. South Island Schist. its cheap as chips and looks great.

Hi and welcome!

royal farowella / royal whiptail - edit my bad. thats number 4

Plecos arrive tomorrow, best I not forget to take pics, cause once they are in the tank, its near impossible.

she won't be impressed

The late Mr. Wiggles of course! (possibly Mrs, but who knows). viewtopic.php?f=4&t=36723&p=400812&hilit=wiggles&sid=e4515e3d580f92154b6f76496a0f8940#p400812

i still want them hahaha

That's what my dad does on his day at the office oil ship things.

niveatus is on the list too. L26 I think. get about a foot long at max. but that seems likely.

you mean KP's. I had one a few years ago - have not posted pics of it on this thread. what plec do you mean?

no a goldy is totally different. L014 - is a goldy pleco or sunshine pleco as some call it I think. Nice fish. needs more meat in its diet.

pretty much, haha. but your tank is really nice! needs some catfish though :lol:

is it?
