ilah Posted January 10, 2007 Report Share Posted January 10, 2007 Hey mate nice plecs you got there! did you get them locally? Funny how similar the two different species look aye Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Discusguru Posted January 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2007 Yes, I got them locally. They do look very similar. One is more yellow with bigger dots and the other is black body with smaller dots (something like that) I myself don't know which is which lol. ron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishboi Posted January 10, 2007 Report Share Posted January 10, 2007 did u get those two pleco the same time in the same shop? looks like there both gold nugget to me [L018], just slight color variation which is normal for plecs to have. this is an orange seam L076 http://www.planetcatfish.com/catelog/im ... ge_id=1185 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Discusguru Posted January 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2007 You might be right Fishboi. Sure don't look anything like L076. I got them both at the same time and at the same place. I even ask them what the difference is between the two cos' they look the same to me. lol ron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoToRiOuS Posted January 11, 2007 Report Share Posted January 11, 2007 did one cost more than the other cos if the gold spot cost less u should be charged the same price if there the same plecos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishboi Posted January 11, 2007 Report Share Posted January 11, 2007 either way both gorges looking plecs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Discusguru Posted January 11, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2007 Fishboi, could it be L081? I agree they're both gorgous and I like them. Notorious.. the gold nugget actually cost slightly more lol. Ron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoToRiOuS Posted January 11, 2007 Report Share Posted January 11, 2007 lol sweet as then then u got another one at a cheaper price nice one.anyways there both really awesome fish. :bounce: :bounce: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishboi Posted January 11, 2007 Report Share Posted January 11, 2007 Fishboi, could it be L081? I agree they're both gorgous and I like them. L081 tend to be a lot paler yellow and haven't seem then in NZ or on any of the importer's list for a long time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Discusguru Posted January 11, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2007 The fish is from Aquarius Imports In the list it says Orange Seam Pleco (L81) Gold Nugget (L18) Yellow Seam Pleco (L177) Cheers, Ron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishboi Posted January 11, 2007 Report Share Posted January 11, 2007 The fish is from Aquarius Imports In the list it says Orange Seam Pleco (L81) Gold Nugget (L18) Yellow Seam Pleco (L177) Cheers, Ron i must have just read orange seam and not bother looking at the L number [stupid common names]. and now that u have said it looking at the pic with them both side by side the top one is a lighter yellow. maybe that one is ur "orange seam" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Discusguru Posted January 11, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2007 First time buying fancy pleco. Both of them look the same to me. :lol: Thanks Fishboi ! ron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishboi Posted January 11, 2007 Report Share Posted January 11, 2007 since its ur first time with fancy plec u should know that gold nuggets can be teritorial as they get older so just watch they dont fight. if they do u will need to make sure they both have their own "hidey hole" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Discusguru Posted January 11, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2007 They're in a 1500 x 700 x 700 tank with two pieces of wood in there. Yea, every now and then they chase each other around. They are digging up my gravel too :evil: ron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilah Posted January 12, 2007 Report Share Posted January 12, 2007 They will be sweet in that tank mate its huge compared to the size of them. I reckon its funny how all of these similar looking fish have different names, yellow seam, orange seam etc when I am sure they are just gold nuggets. That name covers quite a few different L numbers. Awesome looking fish though dude, all the best with them. Shane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Discusguru Posted January 12, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2007 Thanks Shane, That's what I thought when I saw the fish. To me (newbie to catfish) they all look the same but have different names. ron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke* Posted January 12, 2007 Report Share Posted January 12, 2007 Yeah I agree ilah. It's good to see that going by their L numbers they are actually all nuggets just from different areas. Should make interbreeding easier Looking great Ronnie :bounce: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
