    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...

    I thought L204 either eats wood or vegetable but not meats? Your 'whack' meant eats?

    "whack" probably means "eat them so fast you dont even know that your whiptail gave birth... yummy!!"

    Omni, so they'll everything in tank (got to think twice, any wood eating Pleco only eats wood)!

    Will go Qian Hu and Aquo Meadows, both at Sungei Tengah late this afternoon to check whether L204 still available... Thanks.

    OK, so there is no such thing as wood eating Pleco (only eats wood Pleco) ?

    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.

    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.....

    Also, my next target would be L27C, very impressive fish! Thanks.

    yup royals, there are a different types..

    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
