    Hi, everyone. I’ve had my common pleco for probably close to 3 years, and he’s always done just fine, never had anything wrong with him. Recently my boyfriend and I moved him to a 55 gallon tank as he outgrew the last tank he was in, we also added some new fish. When we moved him, we noticed his...

    I see Plecos and Turtles in tanks quite often and was hoping I was going to be able to have this combination. I tried this today and picked up 5 small plecos for about $.60 total at the pet mall here in Manila called Cartimar. It is a large mall of pet stores, mostly fish stores that have...

    10 gallon community question So unfortunately I've run into a bit of a problem with my fish. I have a 10 gallon cycled freshwater tank with live plants and a large piece of Malaysian driftwood. I originally put in a pleco and then my betta fish as tankmates. The betta fish seemed fine with...

    Looking for a species of pleco that I could order from a store that is exotic. Id prefer to keep the price below $35. Right now I have gold nugget and snow ball on my mind for about $30 each. Just wondering if there are some others I could think about equally as beautiful.

    So I have 5 tiger barbs, 3 red minor tetra & 1 rainbow shark. I DID have a common pleco and he was doing great! I had him for a few weeks when something strange happened. I stayed with a friend for three days but came home during the day once or twice to check on my fish and feed them. On the...

    I just purchased my creamsicle molly two days ago, and ever since I got it, it looks like it's head has been dusted with pollen. There are symptoms of ich on the tailfin, and two of the other fish I purchased at the same time are showing ich symptoms as well, my plecostamus and my red platy. The...

    I have a 40 gallon tall tank planted with a baby ornate bichir that plans on growing quickly. I know they're some plecos that stay small, (bristlenose, rubbernose etc) but most get massive. Any specific types you guys would suggest for my tank? Here's a photo

    My father has a ten-gallon freshwater tank that he loves, but algae is a huge problem. One of the occupants of the tank is his beloved crayfish. This crayfish has eaten every algae eater we've tried to use. We've tried plecos and several species of snail. What do people recommend? He won't give...

    I'm getting pleco, either a rubber lip or (preferably) a bristlnose. I was wondering, do they have any special requirements? I know they need places to hide and should be given food besides algae of the aquarium, but anything else? I heard they need driftwood but I'm not sure.

    On my pleco, there are strange red bumps on him that weren't on him before. one is on his tail, the other one is on his throat. And I think I saw one forming on his head. They look sorta like pimples. If someone can tell me what this is, it would be appreciated.

    I have two goldfish in my tank for 2 years now. And the pleco has been in the tank for almost a year. The pleco is about 3.5". Earlier I noticed that the pleco was sitting rather close to my orange goldfish, Bubba. Then I noticed that he was munching on him! I've never seen him do this in...
