My largest plecostomus

[Fishingmad1996]

mine grew to 13" i had to get rid of it because it was getting too big for the tank :( i had to get another small one and watch it grow up again -.-

[wolverine1865]

how big is it in this vid. looks about the same size as mine and mine is 11"

[flipside217]

i miss mine, i called him slinky, he lived for 2 years.. rip slinky

[Cheddar254]

Can you please post an update of your tank it been a year! :D would love to see how its looking now!

[snotbog1]

@Cheddar254

Go to my home page and click on view by most recent videos. I uploaded some in December. No changes in tank since then,

[Astronotus57]

I'd recognise those red hooks sailing by anywhere - This is the drop-dead sexy tank with the fleet of black bars and the big ol' flagtail semaprochilodus, right?

I didn't realise there were gibbiceps about, and find it interesting to see that there is more than one in there - I've never had much luck with getting that species to socialise with others of the same species.

But then, I've never bought a gang of them as young at the same time - maybe that's the key to it?

@Astronotus57

Thanks for the comment. Yeah, the gibbiceps can get a bit cranky once and a while.

[RheaJovovich]

we had one around that big, but it started to attack the other fish, so we let it out in a nearby park's lake. on dec.25th 2008, they renewed the water, so they took out all the water. we found him dead. ;(

@RheaJovovich

[BbOYR0C]

It's so beautiful =) how much plecostomus you have? =S =O

[snotbog1]

@BbOYR0C

I have 6 in two tanks

[sg1rules]

Very Nice, is it a sailfin pleco? I have a Gold spot Pleco that big and a Sailfin Pleco only an inch big, but can't wait till he get that size...

[snotbog1]

@sg1rules

cool, thanks

[XaNKoNII]

They are really beutifull animals, these fish are my favourite!!

i hade 1 with 10 years it was about 25-30 cm (sry i´m from europe and i don´t know how long he was in inches =S)

[snotbog1]

@XaNKoNII

Thanks and yours would have been about the same length as mine.

[CHEVYedsf]

I had one a little bigger than this and I loved him to death. He died a couple years ago though. :L he was 13!

[snotbog1]

@CHEVYedsf

Cool!!!

[iloveeggs123wer]

[snotbog1]

@iloveeggs123wer

I find that hard to believe

[968576]

@iloveeggs123wer they're herbivoirs....

[picturepeople101]

[Baconeater255]

i have the same exact kind and mine is prolly the same size as that

[LevTheCichlid]

good! but i heve 12 inches pleco 9ears old

[snotbog1]

@LevTheCichlid

cool

[symbiotezilla12345]

how big was he or she when you got him or her?

[snotbog1]

@symbiotezilla12345

Around 2 or 3 inches

[EverydayMeow]

how many gallons is your tank?

[snotbog1]

@EverydayMeow

85

[SgtVlach]

not true if a plecos mouth is big enough it can swallow fish

[snotbog1]

@SgtVlach

Really? And how do they catch them? A mid water chase??? I have my 10 inch with neons. Until recently, I had slow moving bumblebees as well. By the way, I have 5 large plecos in there.

[tristanoliva]

how many of these should i put in a 125? i already have one that is 7 inches and will be moving to a 125 in a couple weeks

[snotbog1]

@tristanoliva

You could easily house 6 or so but 2 or 3 is probably best.

[SomeThingGoneWrong1]

how long does it take for a pleco to grow that big?

[snotbog1]

Space and lots o' food. Some varieties grow larger than others. Try looking up specific species online.

I'm noticing a video reference to the right that is of a pleco 19 inches long. I'd ask him!!!

[2footfish]

cool thanks

[2footfish]

what type of pleco is he ? and what do you feed him and how big is he lol soz for all the questions

[snotbog1]

I believe he is a Glyptoperichthys gibbiceps (Leopard sailfin) species. I have three of them the largest being 9 or 10 inches in length. The eat pretty much everything and anything

[JamieT96]

@2footfish When you get a pleco this size don't even think of putting octocinclus catfish with them because you will waste 5 bucks and it will be a tasty dinner for it.

[snotbog1]

@JamieT96

Plecos have no ability to "eat" a fish. They will only suck on a dead one.
