Hello There

The following is a list of assorted plecos I keep mixed in my with my tanganikans

L-264 Leporacanthicus joselimal

L-253 Scobinancistrus sp.

L-018 Baryancistrus sp.

L-162 Panaqolus maccus

L-183 Ancistrus dolichopterus

L-075 Ancistomus sp.

Albino Glyptoperichthys gibbiceps

L-046 Hypancistrus zebra

L-014 Scobinancistrus aureatus

Have to say the workhorse of the whole group has to be the L-183 Ancistrus dolichopterus (bushy-nose), I have never kept a better fish for working on keeping tanks free or clean from algae. These guys are really impressive. The only thing you have to watch is they can be kind of hard on hatches of other fishes fry or eggs if you are not paying attention, and remove them quick enough.

First I will have to admit that to me pleco were something you bought and actually only saw in your tank on rare occasions. I now however have gotten to appreciate the vast variety of plecos. I know that my pleco in my 55 is a chocolate or cocoa pleco but I do not remember the name for this guy in my 20 other than Gus (what I call him) Your help would be welcome. Harold
