Re: Spotted Pleco ID Help

Thanks for your replies!

I've never had a fish with ich before... thank you for pointing that out. I might not have noticed until I put him in my big tank and all the fish got sick!

Spotted Pleco ID Help

I recently purchased a new pleco that was sold as a "Spotted Pleco" and the person at the fish store didn't know much more. The spots are off-white/yellow-ish. Not sure how old the fish is, guessing fairly young as it's about 3.5 inches now.

Pictures are attached... they're not the best quality as ...

HELP! Filter stopped working...

Hello,
This isn't really a catfish specific question, but hoping some of you may have suggestions on what to do :YMPRAY:

I recently acquired a 55 gallon tank. When I picked it up, the previous owner said I'd probably need to replace one of the filters sooner than later - it came with 2 HOB ...

Re: Cories with Large Plecos?

Well, I got rid of the plecos and bala shark this weekend. Sad, but it had to be done.

I did get a store credit for the plecos & bala, so I got 4 more glass cats (making them a school of 5) and 6 loxozonus cories...they really do zip around in a 55 gallon!! Oh, and also a powder blue gourami :d ...

Re: Cories with Large Plecos?

I pretty much figured that... but thought maybe I could keep 1 or 2 :-S

My LFS said they would take them if I couldn't find a home for them. Maybe they'll give me a store credit... they sell large plecos for about $2 USD per inch. :d

I spent pretty much all night tearing it down, moving it and ...

Cories with Large Plecos?

Hello,
I just adopted a 55 gallon tank that has 4 plecos that are each about 12-14 inches (approx 30-35 cm). I'm hoping that my friend with a 125 gallon tank will take 1 or 2 of them as they appear to be pretty cramped currently :-\

My question is... would it be alright to add some cories ...

Re: C. julii & C. trilineatus

I still haven't been able to take any quality pictures of them... If I ever do, I will post them.

The cories do all swim, eat & rest together, so at least I don't have to worry that one may or may not "feel" left out :-BD

So far, they've been really entertaining to watch! I would love to get a ...

Re: C. julii & C. trilineatus

Thanks for the quick response!

I don't plan to add anymore fish. To be honest, I wasn't really planning on adding the cories... I went looking for an assassin snail... but when they didn't have any of those snails, I decided to get the cories and just keep smashing the pond snails that hitch-hiked ...

C. julii & C. trilineatus

Hi All :d Just joined the forum and hope you can help.

I just purchased 3 cories this weekend. I was told they were all C. julii , but after some research, I have found that only 1 is a julii and the other 2 are trilineatus.

They are in a 10 gallon tank (heavily planted) with my male betta and 4 ...
