Thanks everyone for your help, this is exciting to work with these and to know exactly what I'm working with. Cheers!

Yes I bought a group of 12 from Rivercity yesterday.... I've never seen these...I was just told these started coming in this summer of 2019, I know nothing about them... Except keep them like normal looking nigriventris.. It would be nice to know the locality of these and the species name...
are ...

Hello
I got in a group of ' zebra' Syno nigriventris…. I was told they are not a hybrid but a locality. They seem to coming into the fish trade here in USA since this summer of 2019. Anyone confirm about this particular fish? Im not sure if it's a ssp? or a locality? It looks like a ' normal ...

I was wondering if anyone ever put Corydoras or Brochis with a leaf litter? Will they utilize leaf litter,exploring and eating? or do they prefer an open sandy bottom?

HI,
I have 5 Corydoras paleatus (adults, already breeding) but my question is: one of them has extra long fins, reaching the tail. is this normal for an adult cory?
Thanks,

HOLY MACKERAL, hahaha .. Ummmhmmmm well .... I've never seen that before, I'm wondering how does it swim? This " style ...

I got a group of 10 Brochis splendens, and most often 9 stay together. Recently I heard someone with a group of 30 of some Corydoras having 27 staying together.

Apparently, Coridorinae sometimes need some privacy, but if kept with sufficient numbers, they school.

And more apparently fot julii 5 ...

I've got a group of Corydoras melanistius and a group of Corydoras pulcher var #3 ... both species in separate tanks ..... I'd would like to keep another species of Corydoras with one or both species but I want to avoid hybridization .... any ideas ?

I'm having a hard time finding any Brochis species here in the states ............... are these seasonal and still coming in WILD ? or no one is really ' working ' with these in the states?

While 99% of all my other plecos are in hiding during the day , my L152 is out and about in the tank during the day .... easy pleco

Looks like they are compared to Baryancistrus. Perhaps I'll enjoy from a distance for now. Thanks for your help !

What is the availability of L257 in USA ? Thanks !

Repashy's Redrum is a color enhancer, I was told by the LFS employees that color enhancers will not help plecos. Does anyone find this, to be true that color enhancers ( regardless of food company ) don't apply to plecos ?

Not sure about your country , here in the states its a common pleco.

Beautiful pleco ... Go for it !! You know you want too !!!

I would like to add a " schooling " catfish to a large tank. I'm looking at both Auchenipterichthys coracoideus and Ageneiosus atronasus. I'm looking to purchase 10-15. Do these catfishes enjoy a strong current? These two species have a streamline body shape , I would assume they would? These seem ...

I feed my cichlids and tetras every day , all is eaten .... I'm feeding my plecos every night , there are left overs ... in your opinion/experience, what is your feeding schedule / amount ?

In a 33 gallon ( short 55 gallon foot print ) .. what species of catfish could I put with plecos ?
Water temps - 80F
Ph- 6.0 / 6.5
Drift wood , sand , and nice strong current / aeration .

Okay perhaps I can try it in my 125 gallon with the same water temps and parameters ?

I was thinking last night , has anyone ever raised 2-3 inch animals to adult hood in their tanks? I've never heard of such. Is this probably one of the most problematic plecos ? or are there other sensitive species ?

These are all about 4 inch range. They could be too young still to sex. Just thought I'd give it a shot and see what everyone thinks. Sorry the picts are blurry , taken from my phone. These are fresh imports I was told.
Thanks in advance!

I apologize for not giving more details , it's a standard 55 gallon tank with about 7 large pieces of drift wood ( curvy and hallowed out pieces ) stacked from one end to the other end of the tank.
Water temps - 80F
Ph - 6.0
Tank has been running for about eight months , I do a 50 % water ...

Can I keep L263 and two L114/LDA006 together ? They are all about 4 inches .... I hear they are a territorial species ..

I recall a magazine called Amazonas had an issue about Paniques and breeding them last year. I need to go back and look for it. Thanks !

Im curious, are L191 coming into the US WC or cb ? They all seem to be in the 2 - 4 inch range.

Thanks for the input ... I didn't think these were the L56 with some of the research I've been doing... These are still neat plecos .. I believe these will probably max out about 5 inches ?

LFS got in three L56 .... I wasn't aware this particular species changed colors ? One specimen is brown and yellow tiger pattern , another is light grey blue , and the 3rd specimen is a drab grey .. Any thoughts based on the pictures ? Thanks in advance.

I will redirect my original intentions of the making this blog , anyone that has used Repashy's food line , what are your experiences ? pros/cons ..

about - amount

You're exactly right !! But there's a limited about of " fish food " available in the hobby !
