Big common pleco

I have one that is like lets say 9-10" (12" if you use a man ruler). Make me an offer, willing to trade or whatever you can come up with. I can ship it but I'd rather something local.

joe gimme a call when ya get some time , maybe make a package deal with the louches and pleco . for a tank or few .

hey joe ,clown loaches are doing good . all are swimming with the frontosas.
what they best food for for these guys . the frontosa are grownig fast and not leting the louches get any blood worms or food .



or anyone on site have any suggestions . ???

From what I understand the fronts will devour food (the ones here do) we have a sump system and overfeed with Spirulina 20 so all the fish get some food.

ya been breakin up spirulina when i feed um so the food goes everywhere ( they getin blood worms every few days also ) , but i got like 10 fronts , 4 sunspots , 2 dubosi , an 1 ikola in a 150g. they all eating like growing kids/animals .

this is my first experience with clown loaches , so im reading and askin questions. wondering if there is a wafer or something else i can try to get to bottom without the animals eating it .

Those loaches will eat just about anything. I feed all my fish a mix of Spirulina 20 and common flake food. Loaches also love snails so if you ever need to get rid of snails just add the loaches for a month. You can also buy the algae wafers or carnivore pellets but I only drop one of those every once in a while as a treat.

What the loaches will eat:
Smaller loaches like yours eat snails, blood worms, tubifex worms, brine shrimp, any flake food, any sinking pellets.

Medium sized 3"-5" will also eat ghost shrimp, bits of regular shrimp, and floating pellets

Jumbos 6"+ will eat anything they can get into thier mouth.

I would do blood worms that often with fronts to much protein and they will get bloat.

Was told be Fern Blood worms are okay.

Ok what you do is get a turkey baster. Feed the top fish on one end of the tank and use the turkey baster to squirt some food down on the other end for the bottom dwellers

there are some snails in there i got from fern a while back ,. they had mutiplied .

aight ill stick to the spirulina and occasional blood worms for now .

thanks everyone.

Remind me and I will give you a few assassin snails when you come by.
Dropping pellets down a piece of PVC on one end of the tank into the rocks is also another good trick.

deff a good idea . once i get some more rock from you i can deff do that , tank is kinda bare of rock .
,thinkin im off friday , hows that sound for the tanks and filter . ?? lemme kno and well set up a time . ,

ya Friday should work fine, if I'm not home for some reason vixen will be.
