Really stunning fish.

They are one of favourites.

That’s a stunning fish. I am thinking about getting one, how well would they do with plants and discus?

 

[stang1]

Thanks for all the nice comments.
He was the last one in the shop so we had to snap him up! He's a lovely little Pleco and not shy at all. That piece of bogwood he's sitting on is his favourite spot, he spends most of the day on there.
I'll get more pics when he's settled into the new tank.

He's definitely a Blue Phantom, my photography isn't the best in the world.
If you look in the bottom left of the 2nd photo you'll be able to see part of our Green Phantom Pleco.

Congrats Stang1

He/she is absolutely gorgeous. I've seen a few lately when visiting LFS's. But of course, have had to fight the urge to buy. How big is your little guy??

Great pics too, got any more of your Green in the corner?? How big is he/she??

We do adore them. We've got 10 Plecos at the moment and plan on getting more in the near future!

That's just brilliant. What have you got then And what are you planning on getting in the future???

Mind you, I suppose I have 8. 2 L260's, 2 L134's, 1 albino BN and 3 L010a's. Not to mention all the oto's and their fry.

They are just so addictive aren't they?!?!?

 

[stang1]

They are extremely addictive!!!
We've got 3 Bristlenose, Snowball, Green Phantom, Blue Phantom, L205, Leopard Frog, Candy Striped and King Tiger!!!!
We plan on getting a Queen Arabesque at some point and haven't decide what other ones as yet.
Most of them will go in our 120 Gallon and a couple of them will go in our 42 Gallon.
You have a nice collection too, any plans on getting any more?
