Slough Shark Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 Nice pleco. But does the name mean that it will suck on fish or just that it looks like a vampire? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frontosas Posted June 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 Nice pleco. But does the name mean that it will suck on fish or just that it looks like a vampire? Thank you!! Im really not sure how it got it's name... I got him because he is Black with White spots like my Polleni I have in that tank... He sure is a cute little bugger!!

lotsafish Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 They're also called buck tooth plecos, look them up on planet catfish. Did you pick yours up from golds? I've had mine about 4 months from them and it's great. Be sure to feed a varied diet, algae/spirulina wafers and sinking carnivore pellets are the staple of my diet, but it'll usually chomp down on some bloodworms or other frozen food that the bichirs are getting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
