Cory and Pleco Pics

Madam Macaw · 02-26-2008, 11:40 AM

Here are a few pics of my cories that are eating an algae wafer along with the snail:

Here comes Camo - my common pleco:

My new butterfly has yet to come out from the cave that I can tell. I really hope he is eating!

Camo comes out as soon as I put the wafers in - he can smell them good, I guess. Teehee.

BTW - still trying to figure out what kind of Cories I have. I wrote it down, since I went for Schwartz and picked these instead. But, now I can't find the paper. Ugh.

Also, have these two small plecos that will be going in the 30 gallon tank when I get it, they are in the 10 gallon. I know they reach about 4-5", but their name was on the paper too. Any ideas?

I am thinking clown.

They look very much like my Corydoras sodalis.

Your last pic looks like a Clown Pleco.

I'm sure you know the Common Plec will eventually outgrow the tank.

Clown - thanks, that is what I thought too. Unfortunately, yes, I know. He has such a wonderful personality but 55 gallons is as big as I am going right now. It was just suggested that I give him to LFS now, before he gets too big. *sigh* That is the right thing to do. BTW - He was sold to me by another LFS for a 10 gallon tank.

I think you are right on the money about the Cories too. Thanks!!!

Madam:

Please excuse me here if I hurt your feelings but these are very nice fishies and photographs and I have reproduced them directly in this post (I hope that I got the correct fish with your captions).

Nope, that is perfectly fine. I actually figured out what I was doing wrong after I posted. But, thank you!!

See?

This guy is the one in question:

He's a clown plec.

That butterfly pleco is gorgeous by the way.

Madam Macaw · 02-26-2008, 01:38 PM

Thanks. I am hoping he is eating when I am not looking. My common pleco goes right out when I put wafers in, but not him.

JustOneMore20 · 02-26-2008, 03:10 PM

What kind of wafers are you feeding? I'm assuming algae wafers?

You could try some fresh veggies as well.

Drop the wafers in at night (if you aren't already). I believe the Butterfly Plec and the Clown plec hide quite a bit, so they may just eat at night. The clown pleco will munch on the driftwood in the tank too.
