  1. Default Identify this Suspect!

    I'm not sure if this is a common or what as his markings are different than the commons I'm used to seeing. Any help would be appreciated.

    Looks like a common pleco to me. Commons are mixes of lots of kinds of plecos so the markings, and maximum size, can vary somewhat.

    Make sure you have driftwood in the tank for him. It's a diet requirement. And make sure he gets his cucumbers, zucchini, blanched lettuce, etc, so he doesn't starve.

    Going by body shape and head shape it's definitely a common. +1 to LH

    Actually, it's red. Thanks for all the info, the commons I'm used to seeing around here range from brown to black. Why I asked. Right now, I feed him a Hikiri Algae wafer everyday,plus he forages for leftover Tetra-Min. I do have natural Driftwood in the tank, he''s been eating on it. I gave him a small piece of lettuce yesterday, weighed it down with a small piece of lead wire which I removed after he was done(Translation; The lettuce was gone).

    Have to try the Zucchini.

  7. Default

    He will eventually go ape over zucchini, cucumber or eggplant, all mine will cheerfully "graze"on a slice for an hour or so, funnily enough some prefer the rind, some prefer the flesh and some are just greedy gutses

    Red eyes on a black angelfish? You've got an evil angel there.

    Dave, just slice off a piece of cucumber or zucchini and stick a fork in it and toss it in the tank. It won't sink otherwise. I used to blanch my veggies just a bit but found it got mushy too soon. They do just fine with it raw.
