Some of the fish I have posted before. This one for sure. I moved it to a seperate tank. Really a nice fish. I believe it is a male Basket Mouth Cichlid. It's about five inches. Not that aggressive.



The Tomosopensis have been moved to a 75 gallon breeder in the fish room. There are three. Still waiting for the pair. Really good looking fish. Couple shots.



Here's one that would piss off my "corporate masters". I use all kinds of stuff for decorations. This is a sales award I got this past October. Hey, the fish like it.



And one really nice shot at an odd angle.



Macro picture of a bery small (1") Pleco I bought at the ACA Show. It is a long finned bristle nose. No idea on the scientific name. More decorations...


Side view....Anyone ID it for sure?


Look at the colors of this Escondido. What a nice lloking fish. All about 3/4 of an inch.



Two of them near the skull.

WOW!! Great fish!
The pleco might be a white spot pleco(10inches) or possibly a gold nugget pleco(4 inches), both are great looking fish like the one in the picture

Beautiful fish Mojo, hey quick question....

haven't posted for awhile now is that why my old username ''Dwarf GOURAMI'' was deleted?

anyway i've gota new username now don't I, and the so called pleco reminded me of my little bristlenose, it got eaten though and the fish that ate it also died, what a tragic story.....

heres the pic of my bristlenose but its bad quality cause i had to brighten the pic and flip it upside down cause it was sucking on a rock in a wierd position...

Couple fish that I know it is not...for sure. Not a Gold Pleco. It is...or will bee some sort of bristle nose species. I just don't remember the L-# It's extremely hard to place even adult Pleco. This little guy has some growing out to do before I know for sure. Thanks for the comments.

That is pictures of Ancistrus sp. cf. hoplogenys, I'd definitely have to say its not those. I have quite a few of them at different stages of growth, and they don't resemble your pleco at all.

I'd say your pleco is a common bristlenose, they used to be classified as Ancistrus temmencki, but you can see pictures of them here

The long finned bristlenose pleco fry that I had, were about an inch long, and showed very elongate finnage. The longer finnage is a developed trait, and this little guy might not actually develop them. There are pictures of them here.

Hope that helps at all :)
