bulldog pleco

was wondering if anyone is keeping one?

 

I have 1, wish I had more.

 

i got one by mistake it appears thought it was a BN,how long have you had yours and what size is it.

 

Had mine since end of March, its about 6cm now. Nice fish but they do like to school. For some reason they are very expensive here (R120+)

 

ja the price was R119 but i got it for R19

 

I would love to buy one of these. Any idea where I can get one. (I'm in Cape Town)

 

@oscar freak, My LFS gets them in regularly but he says that they seem to die for no reason at all. They seem to be in the same size range as the BN, 12cm odd. As for keeping them in a shoal, I'm not so sure of that as I have stood and watched them at the lfs and they seem to be a bit territorial. I would love to own 1 but I'm not too sure how it'll be with my BN...?

 

mine is lively as ever been 4 months now,a shy little felloe and slow growing.i wouldnt say his territorial more vol.....

 

I had one for quite a while. Great little guy and was only mildly territorial with other similar sized bottom dwellers, but would more often back off than fight. They live in fast flowing streams in rockey rivers so need lots of oxygen. Mine's favourites spot used to be in the bubble stream from an airstone I placed against a tall rock planted vetically in my substrate. He was quite happy alone and is nice as a small pleco as they don't grow very large or very big. He eventually died after I did some rearranging in my tank and forgot to put the airstone back. I've never seen any since in any of my local LFS haunts in CPT.

 

Hi Freshwater, check your pet shops as my one supplier, from Cape Town, has them! He has striped and spotted!
