rudy Posted June 3, 2004 Report Share Posted June 3, 2004 I picked up one of those royal plecos from golds a while ago and although small I can't beleive how they tear through driftwood. I can't imagine what they are like when older as I have never owned a pleco that ate wood to the point I could notice it, but there are wood chunks all over my tank from this little guy. Any others withe similar experience? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nyasa Posted June 3, 2004 Report Share Posted June 3, 2004 All of the panaque plecos are like termites when it comes to wood. I had a clown pleco that was amazing that way. I found it to be quite annoying and eventually traded it in. Royals are quite beautiful though when fully grown. Riverfront has a few larger ones in stock.

Toirtis Posted June 3, 2004 Report Share Posted June 3, 2004 Riverfront has a few larger ones in stock. Yes, and at near giveaway prices during their monthly 2for1 sales. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nyasa Posted June 7, 2004 Report Share Posted June 7, 2004 Is it still 2 for 1 on the second Saturday of the month? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oxquo Posted June 7, 2004 Report Share Posted June 7, 2004 I know what you mean, even a tank full of young bristlenose is insane, lift up a log and it's like a bag of peat was released into the tank with them. I have owned other plecos that seemed to never bother driftwood at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nyasa Posted June 8, 2004 Report Share Posted June 8, 2004 Nice, I wasn't sure. For a while there it was 2 for 1 every Saturday. I/m going to pick up some Japanese Koi for my pond this weekend. Should be a steal at those prices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
