Fish Fanatic
Lol. That’s the issue with some Plecs. You will barely see them apart from when the lights are out. My BN’s I see often but tend to hang on the back of the driftwood, when they see me they dart for cover. My L333’s I normally just see their heads sticking out of the caves. They are clever little things though, they have burrowed around the cave as to act as a trap that the food gets knocked into. None of that dropping food at night worrying if they are eating.Just saw my candy stripped pleco for the first time in 2 months. He’s alive! miraculously! And he’s gotten much bigger than when i first got him! But the most important thing is he’s alivehe never really comes and and says hi so it’s by sheer faith that I hope he gets enough food. I named him Waldo directly after buying him and before I even put him in the tank and he has really lived up to his name. I got him 8 months ago and I could probably count the amount of times I’ve seen his entire sandpaper body on a single hand. Love you tho, Waldo.
My other candy stripped pleco, Nessie, in another tank, I typically see them at least once a week typically in the evenings right before lights out. Either on the glass. Or searching the substrate. Not living up to their namesake as much but I don’t worry about Nessie nearly as much as I do Waldo
I should be getting another large pleco soon if all goes to plan. Hopefully should be shifting some L152 Pineapple Pleco Pseudorinelepsis soon as well. Nice fish but it’s time they move on both 6 inches plus. The dramas of trying to sell fish…
