    Hi!

    I was at Petmart a few weeks ago and I was happy to finally have found a Bristlenose. But to my dismay,it cost a whopping S$50!! [:0]

    May I know what is their normal market price? Are these fellas hardy? It seems like most LFS don't carry them...sighs!

    allen, was there (petmart) last evening. 2xL14 had white patches on their bodies, lah! anyway, looked like the same ones i saw nearly 2 weeks ago...

    bristlenose? yeah, read that they're good too, though i'm not quite ready for their bristles.[]

    saw a 3inch pleco and a small albino cory on their backs, though. []
    P-L-E-C-O-R-Y=M-A-N-I-A!!! YEAH!

    Get it if you like it enough.

    hobby is abt indulgence once in a while too

    there are instances of myself regretting not getting some fish at some moment, only to lose them completely later on....very regret!

    dunno the case for the bristlenose you saw, but i will say go get it if you like it enough! it can stay with you for some time. save on one macdonald's meal per month and you will get back in 10 months haha

    allen, white patches, as in they looked sick lah! nevermind, i'll still go look-look find-find![]

    allen, kelvin, hairy hairy, if i hesitate, the owner of this house (my godsister) will definitely ban it! she's afraid of creepy crawlies. when i wanted to get my first kuhlis, i'd to convince her to concentrate on the cute faces and not the snake/worm-like body!!![]

    (my L200 just came out and blinked at me!!!)

    anyway, bleeder, if the pleco you see is nice and healthy and akoh said the price is ok, don't hesitate. cos members like coryfav, rain, simon, leann, kelvin, will be waiting behind you...[]

    I was at Petmart last evening and I noticed there are a few species of plecos - L172a Gold Heterodon, L172b Grey Heterodon, LDA33 and or L248 ( black body with white spots ), L95 Pineapple ( at the bottom tank ) L14a Goldy or Sunshine , Bristle nose ( think there ia a male and female ) L34 Bristle-bushmouth ( the ugly looking black bristlenose ), L191 Royal Panaque , Network pleco, L204 Flash Panaque, L155 Black Adonis, Amapa twig suckermouth catfish ( can't remember the L no. ) and I think there are a few more ! man ! just can't recall ! age is catching up man !. It's the begining of Pleco season ! L46 will be next ! , Check it out ppl ! cheers ! []

    allen, my only hesitation with petmart's pleco is cos i've seen quite a few casualties...

    but their L046 is different, cos it'll still be in a bag, floating in the tank!

    see how lah, one of my lunch "amat" has agreed to go to tiongbahru afterwards, just need to convince the rest![]

    oh yes, guys/gals, if we plan to go pleco-hunting as a group, we must pull allen along!!! can save money, don't need to buy aqualog books![]

    Simon ! they're still available BUT better put on-hold lah coz' I too saw a few casaulties.

    Coryfav ! I couldn't agree less ! better control ourselves ! don't want to end up buying a sick pleco hor!

    foxemty ! I think those wild caught pleco are from " ah siong or ah chun " they're another Pleco supplier, anyone know where their FF is ? or the name of the FF ?. I tried asking them but no luck ! think they don't welcome walk-in ! .

    Kel ! June/July is the season for L46 ! just round the corner lah ! tahan abit longer hor ! []
