[Haggisman]

Ok first one should be called "how many pl*cos can you spot?"

Here are my 2 red fin dwarf pl*cos in their favourite spot.

And thier second fave spot, also almost in the pic is my new rainbowfish that I got about a week or so ago.One of my origional 2 died after the *** worms treatment.The lone rainbow is happy with his new friend(even though there is a big size difference).

This is my newest addition, baby female(at least I hope it is)albino bristlenose pl*co.She will have a bit of growing to do before I can pair her with my male(who is going back into the big tank soon).Also in the pic is my gold nugget chilling under "his" piece of driftwood(he will be going back into the big tank soon too).

Another pic of the new pl*co and my male cockatoo dwarf cichlid wondering if he should bother trying to eat the algae wafer :D

nice pics and plecos. I have never seen dwarf red fins before, besides in books.

Very nice, Haggisman!

[Haggisman]

Thanks guys!

Yeah they are really personable little things.I bought them as "Giant Ottos" but a trip to Planet Catfish soon soon yielded their true identity.I had hoped they would shoal with my ottos but they prefer to spend their time flitting from coconutshell to zuccini/cucumber and back.I have had them for a few months now and the shop I got them from called me to say they are getting more in so I might just get another 2 once I move the nugget and bristle(possibly the royal too).

That's what I was going to say, they look a lot like otos. Learn something new everyday :D

Nice looking Cockatoo, it's nice to see that some other people have apistos as well. Is that one an Orange Flash? Do you have any other pics of him?

Great pics by the way. Those Gold Nugget plecos are very attractive IMO, relative to other plecos :p

[Haggisman]

Not sure what he was labled as...suburst or something.I used to keep them years ago and it was "triple reds" I had.They bred all the time and eventually through the generations the red turned to purple/blue.These ones breed all the time but so far only once have I seen fry, I'm pretty sure the female is eating them.

Heres a few pics of the male warring with the neighbours(pandas)

Wow, those are some great looking plecos. I wish I could find an albino bristlenose by me.

[Molino]

Thanks for sharing the Apisto pics Haggisman. That's a very nice looking male Cockatoo. My male Cockatoo is slow stupid and a little slim :(

[Haggisman]

Yeah mines not the sharpest tool in the box either, sadly I think my male panda is dead.He has been MIA for a few days now.I will probably give the female away.The tanks only really big enough for one pair of dwarfs.

Hag, whats on the zucchini holding it down? I usually put two pieces in at a time, one on each rock with a rubberband around it. You way though looks interesting.

[Haggisman]

Yeah its a couple of the little wights that come with the plants.I used to use rubber bands until my black ghost knife(in the big tank)almost choked to death on one.

[NJ Devils Fan]

Wow, that sucks. I wasn't sure those little weights could hold the zucchini down. I guess next time I go to my LFS I will get some plants just for the little weights.;)
