did some modify for the inlet... last check before i modify the inlet i found 8 fries inside.. now they are in the small tank for them to grow big... damm I wish i can find the inlet that I have been eyeing leh.. heheheh now inside small tank got about 20 fries growing and eating the leafy vegetable... heheheOriginally Posted by akoh
Star-flog ! you can easily tell them apart by the " chew chew " on its gill cover ! the male has the " chew chew " but the female is " botak or clean shaven " ! no " chew chew " . The tail thingy is more for L046 zebra !
Bro jja ! last evening while servicing my cannister filter, I found 2pcs of > 1.5" Royal Twig fries in it ! man ! god knows how they survive in it ! btw how your babies coming along ! better check your filter system and cover the inlet
To bother some Pleco's friend again, if I want to breed regal whiptail, it is okay to mix with L204 (Flash Pleco) in the same 2ft tank? Would L204 eats the offspring of regal whiptail?
Thinking to have 2 or 3 different types of Pleco for the start...

Most likely the L204 will whack the fries !

I thought L204 either eats wood or vegetable but not meats? Your 'whack' meant eats?Most likely the L204 will whack the fries !

Yippie!! Reptiles and Fishies!
"whack" probably means "eat them so fast you dont even know that your whiptail gave birth... yummy!!"
I see! So L204 not only eats wood but also meats.. dangerous!

Omni, so they'll everything in tank (got to think twice, any wood eating Pleco only eats wood)!Bro, they are omni ! hence they will eat meaty stuffs too ! mine luv to eat BW.
Will go Qian Hu and Aquo Meadows, both at Sungei Tengah late this afternoon to check whether L204 still available...Thanks.

Panaque is " the main plec " that eats wood ! but that is only part of their diet ! they also need other stuffs too ! eg algae wafer, BW, protein pellets, vege etc

OK, so there is no such thing as wood eating Pleco (only eats wood Pleco) ?Panaque is " the main plec " that eats wood ! but that is only part of their diet ! they also need other stuffs too ! eg algae wafer, BW, protein pellets, vege etc
Been to HQ yesterday, all L204 sold out but saw L14 also quite interesting selling $20. But after checking and adult size can be 12cm. Too big for me, can not handle.

Vittata or Acuas sighted!
Hi akoh, I've been to C328 today and spotted this fish very similar to either Vittata or Acuas but not sure which is which? I saw at least 5 (at least 4" long) of them in the same tank selling 12 bucks per piece. Worth investigating.....Most hobbists mistaken Vittata ( longer snout ) as Acuas ( shorter snout ). I sometime get confuse too !

Most likely Vittata lah ! if acuas all the plecoFanatics sure " sapu " all !

The two small panamense got from you just now settle down nicely in my newly set-up 2ft tank which it's a open top tank. Should I make a cover for it? Would they jump out?Ok ! Ciya !
Also, my next target would be L27C, very impressive fish!Thanks.

yup royals, there are a different types..You've Royol Pleco, which one? accordingly to akoh, they're so many different type, such L27, L27C, watermelon etc etc...
To start off here is a short profile list
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
