That's it I want a pleco tank

This picture really does this plec no justice. Hands down this is one of the nicest plecs out there in my opinion thumbs up

where do you get them from?

by 2poc Tue Nov 08, 2011 4:40 pm

The Dublin shops are fantastic for locating plecs. I got my scoby in seahorse, he's a good 6 or 7 inches in size. They had some more in stock a couple of weeks ago too. wink

What prices are they going for?

by Paul Tue Nov 08, 2011 5:35 pm

I seen a rather large one trying to go for 200 euro once but it was quite big wink

Nice fish; hmm thought I saw this bout 2 weeks ago in seahorse; was it the same fish guys? There were several and prices were so reasonable I almost snapped one up! doh

Prob all gone now...

by Paul Tue Nov 08, 2011 7:05 pm

Never seen them Andrew, how much were they going for?? Seahorse is a travel for me, so i stick local when i have to

by **andrewo** Tue Nov 08, 2011 7:09 pm

If it was the same it was going for around 60 euros? probably not them if price is too low; they looked very similiar though but Im not really into plecos so had no clue at all! :(

p.s. sizes were all roughly 4 -5inches

by Paul Tue Nov 08, 2011 7:12 pm

Ah id say that was them alright wink

Seems fair compared to the 9" one i saw going for 200, and it was going for 200 not sure if he got that wink

They looked super in real life too; but I only went for some dry goods supplies and tried not to look at any livestock yep

'tried'

Wonder if for these plecos people keep together with africans?

You could try, i know some species will tolerate a higher ph more than others. People put there common plecs in. Id say it would be a expensive experiment, i had a candy stripe in with mine but he did die awhile after. Cant be sure it was the ph but still

by **andrewo** Tue Nov 08, 2011 10:18 pm

Guess not then...

Love plecos myself, only bad thing about them, they hide all day or just come out for feeding :(

by Paul Mon Nov 14, 2011 1:57 pm

I find that its only really the common ones that hide away all day yep
