kim Posted December 17, 2004 Report Share Posted December 17, 2004 i got some Blue Pleco's in today man they are nice!! very nice .... but they are different from the last lot i got in, this lot have light blue/white spots from the nose down half way down the bodies, have to look up if the young get spots or if its a different fish from my other ones. i have had a few people ask me if they are the same fish or different fish and i haven't found out as yet. one thing i know is i have a boy and a girl so guess who is going to have a go at breeding them hehehe i will get some pic of them next week!

CatBrat Posted December 17, 2004 Report Share Posted December 17, 2004 Hi Kim, From your discription the sound a bit like L128 . Do they look like these? Also how did you sex them? Did you use the length of their interopercular/pectoral odontodes or another method? I would love to come in and see them. Might try to get Mum to take me in to see them this week :lol:. Cheers, CatBrat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kim Posted December 18, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2004 yes thats it thanks saves me looking to see what they are sexing cat fish: put them in a bag look down on them they both have different shapes and the front fins are drifferent. you can do it when they are in the tank but you need them at the front of the tank or back at the same time so i find looking down on them the best Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kim Posted December 18, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2004 different body shapes is a big sign that they are different sex's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CatBrat Posted December 18, 2004 Report Share Posted December 18, 2004 How much are you selling them for? They are one of my favorite fish!!!! I might have to buy 4 or 5 of them :lol:. Also, how big are they? Cheers, CatBrat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kim Posted December 18, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2004 they are small 2 and 1/2 inch i would say can remember will look when i get to work tomorrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawn Posted December 18, 2004 Report Share Posted December 18, 2004 Yes they're beautiful and about 6cm maybe a bit longer I would say. Unfortunately all the pictures were too dark and didn't come up well at all, it's a shame because your mother took so much trouble to catch them so I could take a few photos. The lighting wasn't bright enough and I didn't want to use the flash because I'd forgotten to charge the battery before I left and it was just about run out! Will look forward to seeing your photos now :lol: Hope you had a great birthday and congratulations Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This has to one of the best looking pleco's I have ever seen!!! My one is tiny, only around 5cm including it's tail, but man is it nice!! I will try to take some picture's when it comes out.

CatBrat Posted December 21, 2004 Report Share Posted December 21, 2004 Thanks Kim. The owner of my LFS said that he would try to order me in a couple more after xmas. It must have been quite a small shipment, or one store might have bought most of them. Cheers, CatBrat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kim Posted December 21, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2004 it was only small, so im happy that i got two and even better to get a pair first time round , im feeding them up and then just waiting to see if they will bring me the same luck as the golden black eyes (fingers crossed) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
