Venturing into the World of Plecos

10/21/2017

 
Picture
 Here is a shot of one of the albino green dragon bristlenose plecos I recently purchased. They are supposed to be of the long-finned variety, but I have yet to see any sign of extended finnage. I am a little concerned that I may have been duped in that regard. I have seen photos of long-finned bristlenose that are smaller in overall body size than mine and they have noticeably long fins. Either way, I like these fellas.
 I also picked up a group of five wild caught L264 plecos (Leporacanthicus joselimai), know as the sultan pleco. Unfortunately I have yet to get any pictures of them, but I will post some in the future. The fish are already around five inches long and my intention is to breed them. Outside of bristlenose plecos, which I would consider very easy to breed, I have never spawned any other pleco species.
 In addition to those two, I picked up an another L128 blue phantom pleco, giving me four total. Three of them are too young yet for breeding, but maybe eventually I can breed them too. I also got five calico bristlenose and seven blue eyed albino bristlenose.
