Looks like a BN in this pic.

Lost the Lemon which is a shame.

Got a call to tell me the L95 was lost overnight in transit. Driver no doubt driving like a lunatic or not securing the boxes properly. Fish dead. Now the wait until next year for next shipment. Not great but these things happen.

Don't only make plecos get bristles on their noses.

If so what age do you think they will get them at

One of my many L204:


Three of my many lemon:



My only L333 - shy little devil:


Another of my L204 - this one is pretty young:



A wild owl that has no clue what is happening:


It is true that phones suck; one of these days I'll stop being lazy and dig out my camera.

L333 King Tigers are normally 100% nocturnal. I have 3 of them and there is only one that has some balls and ventures out in the day on a rare occasion. The rest come out and fly around the tank when the lights go off. They are clever though. They have burrows around their small territories so when the food goes in during the day and the recirculating pump kicks in after feeding it blows what ever is left into their burrows. Clever.
Hard to get a decent picture of them though.

Not necessarily. Male bristlenose plecs have large bristles that cover the nose and general head-area, whereas females will only develop small bristles around the bottom of the head close to the mouth.

If so what age do you think they will get them at

The bristles develop when they're a few months old. This is why most bristlenose plecos that you see in fish shops don't have many large bristles - since they're quite young.
