  1. I am looking to add a breeding pair or group of the following: Bristlenose Pleco (Calico, reds, albino) Green Phantom Pleco Blue Phantom Pleco Farlowella Catfish (albino would be really awesome) I am from Lethbridge but I would be willing to drive to Calgary or Medicine Hat to pick up. Pet stores simply don't have the types I would like or the health. Please let me know prices and what you have. I am also open to suggestion if you know of a cool type of Pleco that's affordable. Thank you Blake
  2. Hi everyone, 2 months ago I put a LFS BN pleco in our malawi cichlid fry tank. Everything seemed to be going well for a while (pretty much the whole two months). Tank levels were normal i.e. ammonia 0, nitrates 0, nitrites 0. He/She was doing a great job of keeping the tank clean than all off a sudden dead. I believe I noticed him/her dead very shortly as no tank levels had spiked. Pleco seemed happy and was supplemented with some NLS wafers a couple times a week. The only thing I can think of is that the pH levels were too much for it as I keep it at 8.2 for the cichlids. I've read various articles stating that this was fine for the plecos and also not fine for them. Seeing it was doing so well I never thought much of it. Anyone else had much experience with plecos in high pH levels. I have a common pleco in my 90G cichlid tank that is at a consistent 8.2pH with no problems for almost a year now, it is over 9 inches. Does the size make a difference or should I be looking for some outside circumstance. Thanks for the response
  3. So... picked up 5 BN's from Harold today and when I got home put them in a 10 gallon I had previously used for my RCS. The tanks been sitting empty for a while (stripped of all plants and shrimp) and just been sitting with the substrate and some random snails in it. I had done a water change out, put in a sponge filter and added some (brand new) malaysian driftwood. After I got the plecos acclimated and turned the light on, lo and behold hydra on the glass. My question is what's the potential problem here? Don't think they're going to be able to hurt the BN's but I'd still like to get rid of them. I've heard spixi snails do a good clean up on the little buggers, but will the BN's just take care of them on their own? I'd eventually like to breed my BN's once they get a little bigger and definitely don't want to be battling hydras at the same time. On a side not, the 10G won't be their permanent home. Just a place to chill out for the next few weeks until I set up my empty 55G for them. Was kinda hoping to use the ten for fry eventually though.
