    L27 can be broken into L27a, L27b, L27c- They are from Brazil, Rio. the river source are Tocantins,Xingu, Maranhao,Araguai and Tapajos, and hence they get their names from there

    L90 is from Peru. the Iquitos region

    L190 is from Columbia but there are some claims that there are some found in Venezuela also

    L191 is also from Columbia

    L203 is from Peru, Upper Rio Ucayali

    L330 is also known as the watermelon is found in Columbia in the Rio Gueja

    Some claims that the LDA 29 is also a panaque from Peru.. i am not sure about this

    LDA 63 is also from the xingu river

    that is all i roughly know. hope it helps
    Wow! That is quite a list for just Royal Pleco. I guess L27C is the nicer of all? is there one call Plantium Royal Pleco? Much appreciated and learnt something today.

    Nice is subjective lah... some people are crazy about bristlenose and to some they are mean ugly looking monsters.. Royals some like thick bland bands as the ultmaie looking. some swear by fully spotted as the champion.. there even those who stand firm saying the royal with the longest whiptail is the best... real subjective.. to each royal lover their own choice. Yes there is a royal called the Platinium.. it could be from a different river or just a varient...*shrug* that is my guess.. think better revert back to the main topic rather than sway away.. hheehe hope to meet up with ya soon since u staying so near by

    Sure, you're very experience Pleco breeder like Akoh. Before closing off this, can Royals live together with Flash Pleco and regal whiptail in the same planted tank? They all eat aglae wafer right?

    i am not as expereince as Akoh but we are buddies. what i know is mostly what i have picked up from him he is a "big bro" to me . my own opinion is that best to let them each have their own tank space. more focus. yup they enjoy algae wafers

    Thanks thanks and thanks..I brought 3 pcs of Flash Pleco (size about ~ 1" to 1.5") and they're very cute and adorable. I start to love Pleco more than planted tank for now??

    Star-flog ! Royal Twigs are not jumper ! hence dun worry too much !. L204 juveniles are fragile and need more TLC ( Tender loving care ) have fun !

    There are also various variant in L090, they are L090a, L090b, L090c and L090d, the distinct difference between them is the body colouration, They are from Peru.
    Safe Diving !

    Now, I got 3 juveniles L204 + 2 regal whiptail juveniles in 2ft tank. Also added in two strong internal power filter and lots of driftwoods. The only diet is Aglae wafer, nothing else. OK? They seem very happy living together and moving around a lot (especially near the strong current area). Very nice...what can I say!

    Thinking of adding 1 L134, don't know okay or not? Cheers!

    Allen, from an innocent query on the 'helicopter', you've turned another algae-eater-searcher to a plecorymaniac!

    jja, time to start L046 breeding program too!
    P-L-E-C-O-R-Y=M-A-N-I-A!!! YEAH!

    They look quite different, but if you've been staring at the L046 for a long long time without being able to get your hands on them, you may eventually fall in love with the likes of L134 and some 'Chocolate Zebras'. Like I did.

    a good tank maker that I know of is David ( QWS Tank Connections), his tanks are good and reliable. Maybe you can give him a call and arrange for him to advice and give his opinion for the tank you have in mind. Friendly fella and helpful. For me i prefer tanks with depth... do hope to see ur tank soon

    Yupp, I just jointed Planet Catfish forum recently and posted a question on custom made a 4ft Pleco tank.

    Initially I was thinking to go for 4ft x 1ft x 1ft (the long and landscape look and try to be different ) but various members from UK & USA commented/advised to go for 4ft(L) x 1.5ft(H) x 2ft(W) and can hold a lot of water. Good size, can be expensive to make!

    Bigger volume are easier to control and maintain hence go for bigger tank.

    I was there the entire afternoon, any exhibition relating to fish keeping is alway good lah ! moreover I got a few items at bargain price !
