[pondguru]

This video was uploade over 3 years ago but I would think it was approx. 2.5"

there eyes look fake

[kelantansucks]

what is it's natural diet? thanks

[pondguru]

They are one of the plecs which need to scrape wood - its important to their diet, but many species of plecs will have a go at most foods. Panaques are omnivores (will eat just about anything) but algae and wood are probalby the two most important parts of their diet.

[kelantansucks]

thank you very much for the useful info. I find them horrible in the past but is beginning to appreciate their uniqueness now.

[Clowwn1]

Yeah, Panaque Nigrolineatus is different to L191 i think. Awesome video though man, i'd love to see alot more of these sort of videos , with all fish specimens :3

[pondguru]

I only changed the title, as someone told me it wasn't a L190. Aaargh, bugger it, I should chage it to 'Stripy plec in a fish shop'.

[nicofish1000]

dude I was reading up on panaque cause I was getting my nigrolieatus and panaque sp mixed up. this isnt L190 this looks like an L191. I looked it up on planet catfish.com either way great fish.

[pondguru]

You may be right, I'm no expert - I have changed the video title.Thanks, man.

[nicofish1000]

@pondguru neither am I thats why I use planet catfish. I would kill for either fish so its cool 

[fahrigonzo]

music wins

[nicofish1000]

why why am I not in england I want one so badly awww.

[GODLIKE20000]

got mine for £20, he's a tiddler tho, grows really slowly compared to common plecs

[pondguru]

I would take one of these over a common plec any day. They are nice. We had a spotted panaque in recently (L330) which was even nicer.

[GODLIKE20000]

@pondguru that sounds interesting, i'll need to try and search that one

[uwe2602]

Hi pondguru ! Thank you for beautiful Video.

[uwe2602]

Ein wunderschönes Tier.

[hawkwind999]

@uwe2602 english only on you tube !! remember bader meinhoff

[prodkill]

those are verry expensive i think they cost 500$+

[pondguru]

Maybe for a super big one but the one in the video was £29

[Sypha14]

How big do they grow?

[pondguru]

In a large tank you could get one over a foot long but they do take a while to grow. They will grow much larger in the wild.

[Fortetennis]

NICE!!! that is one of the nicest plecos i have ever seen!

[blownable]

I find them fairly creepy
