Did you get it as a baby if you or anyone knows how long from a 3 inch baby .and how big in a 10 gallon tank that I will sometime move into a twenty five gallon
All mine used to do was suck on a hunk of floating driftwood. All day long. Well, until I put a fake volcano in the tank. She fell in love with it. :)
have sand in ur tank pleco love the sand they hang out more at the bottom reason pleco hang on glass alot because the rocks bother them on the body's the sand alot relaxing on them i have 2 of them an there more relax an dig threw the sand stay cooler also!
damn man i hope my 2 get that big i have one thats a little over a yr old now and 9 inchs and another one that i only just got a month or 2 ago and he's tiny about 4 inchs
can you tell me what yours or any pleco eats other than tank algae because once thats all gone then what i want one for my 10 gallon because in my 20 gallon he would be bullied by my crayfish or bluegill please helpthe 10 will only be for him
a 10 gallon is way to small for any pleco ,not because they grow big but its not good for them as there body wont grow as much and that can kill the pleco after a while ,i would advise you too take it back to a store or give it to somebody , but anyways they like to eat cucumber , algae wafers , and any fish food that will sink to the bottom of the tank really
I have had my Pleco named "Killer" for over 3 years. He is so content and He is the calmest fish I have ever seen and I can pet his head without fear.
I think this is a good video to let people know how big "common plecos" can get. If you have a small tank, and need algea eaters, think of purchasing dwarf or fancy plecos that stay about 5 -6 inches!
wtf it died in 18 months? dayum... seriously that fucking sucks they can live well over 20 years too. you should try raising them as babies it takes long to grow big but i had my sailfin pleco for 5-6 years its at 16 inches right now still healthy too.
We had two of them in a 20 gallon tank, but they were getting big, so we gave one away. Finally we had to give away our other one because he was getting to big for our tank and was not vleaning it anymore. Petsmart said after a while they get lazy. My sister took it home to her 50 gallon tank, she grabbed it with her bare hands.
0.0 wth 18 months and it's that big!!! i had mine for like 3 years and it's maybe 10-15 inches my tank is small and i just feed it flakes ): tried apples didnt like em.
@legocrazy1234 I don't want to say you starved him, but you probably starved him to death. A 15 inch pleco would eat an entire Zucini every week. He was really looking for food in your video, where normally if well fed they just chill during daytime. Hopefully he just died of old age, but I have heard their average life span is like 20 years.
@ninjabluewings I sold my 14 inch to a guy with a pirahna tank for $110 (US dollars). It outgrew my 55 gallon so now i'm sticking with bushynose plecos that only get 3.5". :) Hope I helped with your question!
Hey Thanks For The Reply, Yes It Does Make Things A Little Clearer For Me Now, So That's Around £55 In English Money Then. We Have These Fish In England And I Think They Would Cost More Over Here Than £55 So That Guy Had A Bargain. I Would Have Thought That Other Fish Can't Live With Pirahna Unless They Are Pirahna Too
@ninjabluewings I just had to get rid of him because he was taking up a lot of room and his offer was $110 so I just went with that. Pirahnas don't really harm fish that are twice as big as they are and to date, a year and a half later, the pleco is doing fine.
Oh I See, I'm Glad He Is Still In One Piece. I Find It Quite Interesting To See Video's On Here With These Pleco's Attacking Other Fish, I Always Believed They Were Good In Community Tanks, I Suppose With All Breeds Of Fish There Are Exceptions To The Rule
That seems unlikely. But it'd be cool to see a video of yours! I've had a rare albino sailfin pleco for about six years now. Bought him at 2 inches and he's almost a foot long now. Maybe it's because mine is a different breed that he's grown so slowly. My dads common pleco grew to about 19 inches over the course of 14 years. Yes, they live that long and longer!
I have a 2 year old pleco that is over 14 inches long. Hope yours sticks around just as long and mine is still growing. Keep him in a 75 gallon turtle tank with some convict cichlids.
Do you have any idea how long they live? I had one for 13 years and it died last year. He(she) lived in a 10 gal for 8 year, then moved to a 20 gal for the last 5. He was fat, healthy, and was not sick until the last 2 days before death.
Pleco's are my fav fish! I have Kissey, she is almost 8 years old and is a foot long. She is under the weather right now, I'am treating her though. Hope she lives another few years. Great video.
i need someones help please..i bought my pleco the waffer chisp and he doesnt eat them i have two an albina and i guess jsut a regular brown spotted one...i dont know what to feed them to make them eat besides them sucking the tank walls...and i would like to grow them big fast cana nyone help me?write me plz
I'd say keep it in a seperate tank until it gets big enough or just buy a big one... plus most of the pet stores around here sell large, medium, and large. Just get a large one.
