Just Got L144 Pleco!

[xingumike]

All the info that you see on Ancistrus sp3 applies as it is just a mutation of that sp.

A lot of plecos like to eat shrimp pellets and zucchini cuts. Mine also eat blood worms and brine shrimp.

 

[stang1]

Bloodworm should only be fed as a treat once in a while for the majority f Plecos as it is high in protein and can do more harm than good.

ive just bought 2 plecs identical to the one in the pics above apart from they have blue eyes they was sold to me as l144 blue eyed long fin lemon bristlenose plecs
does that sound about right from the description if so whats the going rate for them i just want to know if i got them for a good price theyre 1.5 - 2" long
a person ive spoken to said theyre quite hard to get hold of and pretty exensive compared to common bristlenose plecs

Hi
They are hard to get hold off.
I would love some.
I wouldnt have a clue how much they sell for.
I did see some a long time back, young fry were goin for 10.00 each.They were all sold.
If theres any chance where you got them from still has some please pm

Males do seem to be over-represented in their populations. Collectively myself and my sister have around 20 or so bristlenoses and of those, only around 3 or 4 females! Good luck.
