All plecos are doing quite well. I received some news recently that there is a small chance that i may be able to get my hands on a very rare pleco species. They may be offered in all 3 stages. I am hoping that if a stage 1 is available at a decent price i may jump on it. The pleco is the Luteus. It grows in stages. Here are pictures of the 3 stages, first pic is stages 1 last is stage 3.
Well today i will be adding 3 more, an L014 , L273 and L264. But before the add i need to tear the tank a part. Why you ask? Lol well i started the tank by putting in 6 tiny little red devil fry, those fry are now 3-5" and they eat everything, nothing gets to the plecs. So i need to tear it a part to catch the pigs. More to come
Picking up 2 more from my wish list, an L097 and L253.
Not my pics
Working on editing a video where most of my clan come out to eat. I can't believe how big my L24s, L25, L273 have gotten, and their colors are popping nicely
Time for an update on the pleco tank. All is doing amazing. Some are growing faster than others. Like the 273 is getting huge and beautiful, while the blue phantoms are still small, but beautiful as well. No new additions since the 97 and the 253. Don't see much of them unless i feed them their favorite food lol. Keeping a pleco tank with 20 plecos in it completely clean is almost impossible, i bet @DMD123 would just go nuts trying to keep this tank free of floating debris.
Boy do i need to catch up on some of these threads. A lot has happened in 5 months. But first, i may be placing an order for more plecos if any of you would like to join in, let me know.

I noticed that Freshwater Exotics has the pleco I just got:
Parancistrus aurantiacus ” Xanto Yellow” 4-5″ $275.00
Granted a bit bigger than what I got but with the yellow change they now become a $300 pleco. Sadly no guarantees it will stay yellow. But they are still a really cool pleco none the less.
