CatBrat Posted December 11, 2004 Report Share Posted December 11, 2004 I was just wondering what fancy (ie - the less common one's) pleco's the people of this site keep. At the moment the fancy plecos that I keep are.... 1x Butterfly Pleco (L052) 2x Yellow Black-eyed Bristle-nose (L144) - breeding pair 3x Queen Arabesque Pleco (L260) - 1 male, 2 females (I think) 1x Matto Grasso Bristle-nose (LDA08) - although this guy is sick and I think that it might die 2x Crocodile Whiptail - pair I'm starting to really get into pleco's and I'm looking forward to expanding my collection soon So what do you guy's keep? Cheers, CatBrat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
