  • IDK why but, I wanna hug it...

  • hey guys, in reply to a few questions on here, he got rehomed around 16 months ago; firstly because he was big and clumsy, and i was making the move to marine. he ate loads, full cucumber a week! Never saw any agression from him or others but prob due to size. Had adequate filtration; over 3000 lph on 370ish litre

  • Hi i have albino pleco 25cm. i don't know what he eats.

    he always stays in the same place and moves every 30 minutes. what do you feed him usually?

    reply please

  • I had a Plecostomus that lived to be 18 years old and was about 14" long, I died prematurely form a power outtage while i was out of town. :(

  • tank *

  • We used to have one of these when I owned a tropical fish take I miss Mr Pleccy D:

  • are plecos normally shy? bc mine is about a year old about 9 inches and is afraid of people

  • awww he/she gorgeus i saw about the same size size when i worked in a pet shop

  • i had one that big in a 125 gallon tank

  • WOW WRONG pH MUCH????

  • not to sound like a prick, or a fishophile. ha! but if you ever touch a Pleco they are hard as a rock so I don't think many fish could bother them unless they get at the underside. I keep one about this size with two full grown Red Eared Sliders and have never had any trouble but him growing so fast off their waste. nice fish btw.

  • lol! hes so big, the schlids don't dair bother him! XD

  • how old is he?

  • that thing looks awesome i cant wait till mine grows up :) i got a nice 150 gallon tank waiting for him when he is ready to move into a mansion aquarium

  • @1R3VOLUTION dude prepare to have a freakin life partner in a 100+ gallon i've seen pleco's grow to 2 feet long and live for 15+ years

  • My dad's went to London zoo as it got to about 50 cm

  • de cuantos litros es tu acuario?

  • I had bigger :D

  • weres the turtles?

    

  • wow! hes lovley and cute!

  • Dear god! its HUGE! how long can these things get? I have one and if it gets this big I think I need to kill it O_o

  • @Starlucid1 You'd kill an animal because you failed to do research before buying it? Common plecos get HUGE! Put an ad on craigs list or something. Bushynose plecos don't get big though.

  • @fishfreak95  I'm just kidding, I love my Pleco. lol

  • that fish is a pest in the philippines,we call it "the janitor fish"somethin like that..!!

  • Woah!!! He's a big guy. I really love them

  • that is 1 smalll pleco...come check my pond for a 2 foot pleco

  • 100% sure it is dead by now. such a small and cluttered aquarium.  shame. beautiful fish.

  • I have one that's about 7 years old :3

  • @skyressmaster12 I've got you guys beat. I don't have him now, but he's probably still alive. They live a long time. If turned loose they can grow 6-7 feet long. The largest one I had was about 23" long when I traded him in. They gave me $40 for him. He also would swim up to the top of the tank & flip on his back & allow me to put food in his mouth. They put him in their biggest tank & went to feed to see if he really would do that. And of course he did. He became a hit, drew a crowd.

  • Your Pleco is the best, would he eat an algae wafer whole?

  • nice cichlids too. have you had any problems with cichlids attacking him?

  • @TheLeftylegend14 what i can remember, the cichlids didn't bother him

  • @drjulesd Lucky Lol. I used to have cichlids and a smallish pleco in one tank and they picked him to death while I was gone one day. I was not happy when I came home :L

  • @drjulesd My Cichlids only seem to hate smaller cichlids. The catfish I have in there are fine and they never messed with the pacus till I gave those away. I have to keep a separate tank to grow the cichlids in.

  • @TheLeftylegend14... Cichlids do bother slower moving fish, but that also just depends on which fish wants the food more... My Plecostomus for instance gets picked on because I simply do not have enough decent hiding spots for them... I am getting them very soon though, like this upcoming Tuesday, My Cichlids will have a nice home in some very cool Cichlid Stones...

  • @TheLeftylegend14 Also, I just reviewed the video a couple more times... Look at the Pleco's tail in this video... He has been nipped at, my Julie's do the same thing... just on the tail though... but also the Pleco fish won't exactly bother anything, just as long as you feed them enough, because when you feed your other fish, they tend to go and steal that food as well...

  • hello, i have a question.

    Is this a Hypostomus Plecostomus ?

    Thank you ! ;).

  • @Bosnaaaable yeah, that's the one.

  • @drjulesd no its not,thats a liposarcus.reconiseable by the darker color and slender body.the hypostomus plecostomus is dark brown and has a wider body,a more muscular look.both grow out to around 40 cm for females and around 55 cm for males.

    great fish anyways

  • @celloplayer56 11.99 at petland for 10% off so like 10.70 or something

  • I have my pleco with african cichlids too except my pleco is still small like 3.5in or so

  • how much are those anyway. i m thinking of getting another one. i have a medium plecostomus hes the size of my hand, and his name is moose. :3

  • I love plecos! even though they are not very colorful, they are just so beautiful to me! like a wise old owl!

  • @Mamboleo1995 they have colorful ones too, but i got a basic brown hes cool

  • they grow much bigger.... i have 4 in my pond which are nearing 2'!!!!! they will grow bigger in a larger tank... i think...

  • what size tank

  • disjunctivitus?

  • How do t

  • I have got one like that

  • remainds me of the one i used to have ! my parrot fish killed it when he was 11" ! nice fish man ! 5 *
