It’s a sad day for our family. Our 7 year old common pleco who was about 13” long died today. Water is where it needs to be and everyone else is okay. You lived a hell of a life bud never forget ya. Here’s his baby picture and a picture I took a few days ago 😢

(Skip to the bottom for TL;DR version) So I bought a "bristlenose pleco" last night which looked okay from about a foot away, since as far as I can tell spots are part of their normal coloration. My tank is about three months old, so still fairly new, and I decided to just place him in the...

My friend has a 35 gallon tank with a pleco (not sure what species) and a bunch of mollies. A few snails hitchhiked in with some plants and now there are a few hundred of them. Is there a fish she could get that would help with the snail infestation? Larger loaches would not be an option as I'm...

I'm looking to get ahold of some Zebra plecos (L46) for the purpose of breeding them. Does anyone have any info or experience with them. I would like osme advice from fellow members before starting this project. Im really nervous to try getting some because they cost so much and I dont have alot...

Against my better judgement and stern warnings, I placed a 8" Common Plecostomus in my planted tank. Bad things then happened in the middle of the night. It dug down through all of the substrate and the MTS uprooted and re-arranged every plant. Oh well, I was thinking about re-working...
