Been looking for one of these beauties for a while. Went to pier today and they had some in. Been in for at least six weeks apparently so they should be acclimated and I saw them eating well. The one I got is around 3 inches with a nice belly. It is just settling in now but I have not stopped smiling.

Mine is called Dotty and my Gold Nugget is called Nessie

Iiriva - yours looks in good health. Mine is a little smaller at the moment (probably around 9-10cm). What do you feed yours?

 

[Iiriva]

She gets fresh cucumber or watermelon few times a week (she has a little piece of her own during night time at her corner, since she is a bit shy, and out gold spot pleco eats everything else ) and other times she has Nutrafin Max-pellets, which include dried bloodworms, algae, garlic, antioxidants and vitamins A, C and E. Ordered it from zooplus.com, from Germany. Our loaches and plecos also get Sera vipachips every now and then, the food we varies a lot. Now we have those, soon we will have something else again.

We have many kinds of fish, so I have 11 different foods at the moment...

 

[fishprotector]

Lol that is more different types of food than some people have fish !!

I have not tried watermelon, might have to give it a go

 

[fishkeeper694]

ha ha loving the name x and yeah i have like loads of different foods for my babies too :L xx

 

[Iiriva]

Well I have 612-liters (158 gallons) in my bigger tank with different kinds of loaches, siamese algae eaters, tetras, cichlids, plecos and a striped raphael catfish, and a 45-liter one with baby mollies (they have grown big enough to move to a new owner on saturday, my tank is too small for adult ones so I'm selling them...) shrimps and apple snails, so I have maaany hungry mouths to feed! And I'd like to think that changing the food every now and then is good for the fish too, as long as it's good quality. :>

Can't wait for my lda-033 to grow in her full size though, she looks so small when compared to Mörkö, who is a 25 cm tall gold spot...
