Bought these two beauties today.

L273

The second fish was labelled as a Butterfly plec. Don't think this is correct. I think it's a L014.

Anybody kept these? Any tips I should know?

Thanks

Is it rude to ask how much you paid for them?

LOL Not at all.

The first one was £45 which is the most I have EVER paid for a fish. I have seen you can get them from plecoaquatics for £35 but when I saw him I had to get him. :drool:

The 2nd one was £19.

Tokis- P. The first 2 pics are of the same fish.

I'll post some more pics when they are settled in.

Yeah i know, i do'll some research and see what the second pleco is as they are definately two different types of plecos and i don't think either of them are butterfly pleco's as the butterfly pleco has quite distinct markings which none of these two plecos match;

Check out the link for the L273 i just gave you for your first pleco :nod: .
 
Lovely L273 :good: (though the other one is nice too :))
Sadly mine died just before Christmas :-(
 
Thanks for the kind comments. I'm chuffed to bits with the 273. Here's a couple of pics of them in the tank - sorry they are not very clear but the 273 wouldn't stay still. There are also a couple of shots of some of my other plecs - 128 (so hard to photograph) and 333.

Bloo. Your fish was stunning. So sorry to hear he died. :no: Was it sudden? Any idea why?

Thanks Leonwillow - and you have some very beautiful fish there :good:

My only guess is due to territorial issues with my L091 (and they are renowned for "territorialness"). I haven't lost fish in that tank in a very very long time and haven't had any ilness in that tank for over a year or more - so it definitely came as a shock as there were no other signs. So do be aware and make sure you have plenty of caves.

Hope your new fish settle in well :good:
