L Cats

@jabula 7749, Just had a look in my L-Cat bible and it looks like it may be an L253, and it gets really big, 35-40cm. It really is stunning though. I may be mistaken though.

@spearo, @Pierre Schoonraad, Please can you post some pics of your Adolfo's. I'm really curious to see if they are the real ones.

@Janna57, that is a stunner. I love them but they just get way too big for me :-(

 

@Skye01 hope this help sorry for the quallity.

 

Any id on my BNose?



This is my Adolfoi

 

@Pierre Schoonraad... Yes those are the real ones:rock: If you get them to breed please would you let me know, I've been after these little guys for a long time, they are some of the prettiest cory's.

 

@spearo, Can you maybe get a better pic of your BN, it's a little difficult to id from that pic. Yep, also a genuine Adolfo cory. That's so great to see them... Also if you get them to breed, please let me know...

 

@Skye01 I get the idee that I only have 5 females but I asked Pet Stop to be on the look out for them again. Will let you know if anything happens in the mean time

 

I will let you guys know when there is some l201 babies,hope it is soon!

@Skye01 i have had that pleco for 3 years know and it does not grow bigger than the 10cm it is!so I dont know!

 

That phantom is awesome @Janna57. Is it the Hi fin or the regular?

@jabula 7749, yes please let us know if you ever have any babies available!

Here are a few of mine :

Royal


Butterfly


Mega Clown


Haven't managed to get many nice pics as they always hiding.

 

Hmm. Pics don't seem to be posting from my phone. Will edit from a PC tomorrow.

 

Let's try again.

Butterfly


Mega Clown


Royal

 

@MattLamm, very nice pics. I see that your Butterfly plec also displays such awesome colours. I also have the Mega Clown, but they are forever hiding away in the chunk of wood that I have in their tank... Love the Royal, it is so stunning, but I hope you have the space for him to grow to full size... 50 - 60cm... :O

 

@MattLamm - Not sure , I have 3 of them and i think maybe one of them might be a Longfin . Love your Plecs , especialy the Royal . They just look so cool .

 

Thanks guys. I've always liked the Royals. Took me ages to find one, then I ended up getting 2. The species I have stay slightly smaller than some of the other royals. L027 grow to about 40cm. They're currently have plenty space and I will just keep making a plan for them as they grow. Fortunately they grow fairly slow.

I was moving some of the tank furniture around tonight and I noticed my female Clown Pleco is very plump and round. Think it's time to make some spawning caves. I know most people use slate for the caves but I got a bunch of small pieces of dragon rock and was thinking of using that as it looks more natural. Anyone know of any cons with me doing this?

 

I think the sides of the cave can be dragon rock but the roof, where the eggs are laid, will have to be smooth, but there is nothing stopping you from putting a flat piece under the dragon rock roof...

 

Thanks Guys. I wasn't sure how rough things get when they spawn. The rock is kinda smooth in texture, but it is jagged at the same time. So was wondering if they would get injured. Perhaps I'll use something smooth on the inside just to be safe. I'm not a massive fan of anything that doesn't look natural, which is why I didn't want to build the square slate caves I have seen people use.

@Skye01, why does the roof need to be smooth? Does it need to be flat as well or is PVC pipe still an option inside the cave?

@Reedfish, this is dragon rock :

 

Cool, yeah will make a plan to make it more flat and smooth inside like you guys have suggested.

 

So,this is what my L201 eggs looks like


Also found 6 babies,looks like they are a week old already!
