Wow, @NCaquatics , he's pretty. I'm not against plecos (or bettas or goldfish or neons or dwarf gouramis or guppies--I've kept and enjoyed all of them). I just thing they're over-rated, and I think it's weird how extremely common they are.

I blame petstores pushing them on people as cleaners

How can you generalize and call a Pleco such as this Zebra, overated

Discus look like pancakes to me. I like them and all, but I feel like they'd taste yummy with maple syrup on them

I'm getting a sense of deja-vu now.

I'm slowly losing my mind.
Pancakes on the brain

I dont have angelfish lol

The other tankmates were a dwarf honey gourami hybrid (who was also attacked by the neons), black neon tetras, corydoras, kuhli loaches, and Farlowella twig cats. Only ones visibly attacking others were the neons.
I rehomed the neons and magic, everyone gets along again and no more shredded fins

The Neons in our tank belong to Mr LostBear. Mine are the Glowlight tetras.

For three weeks I lost a Glowlight a week - they had seemed healthy and suddenly developed "swim bladder" issues and died within a day or so.

In retrospect I believe that the Neons (who already had form for brutality) had been kicking them the swim bladder and murdering them.

Neons are evil!

Though he is gonna grow big, but im okay with that, he will get a tank built around him.


Now its common plecos who need to get out of the hobby. Beautiful, but not good cleaners and get ridiculously big for most tanks and most people buying fish for their kids aren't gonna go and buy a 200+ gallon tank for them

Yep - we learned the hard way about the growth capacity of the common pleco . . .

The zebra pleco only grows to 3 1/2 inches and costs about $300. So that proves that “size doesnt matter.”

I like pancakes.

 

[kwi]

Crepes or pancakes?

 

[WhistlingBadger]

Both. I make pretty good crepes. But I prefer pancakes.
