Glad you enjoyed!

Thanks!

Common Pleco, Sailfin Pleco. Though its not that i dont like them, i just dont like that 99% of them are mistreated

I have one too, how can u tell if they are male or female?

@@coolwater411 The little "beard" on its face 😁

@@audrameyer9558 beard on its face mean it is a…male?

@@coolwater411 Yepper

I think I have a male

It’s not Gucci, but it’ll do 😂

@@chelseasteenfott 🤣🤣

They do get them regularly though.

@@SteenfottAquatics Then I shall continue to vigilantly check in! Thank you, sir!

Honestly Most Plecos like 76-78 usually Some go hotter some colder but most like that range If you're looking for a pleco that wouldn't be too pricey then I would yoink a clown or rubber lip pleco Remember that most plecos need 20 or larger. Clowns and brisltnose need about 20-30 *minimum* Rubber lip need 30 minimum If your tank is below 20-30 gallons I would try and get something else like some type of loach or oto or even some type of small stiphodon goby If it's below 10 gallons then snails are always a great option! Hope this helped!

yea im also not a fan of how plecos are identified by code numbers. i hope they got proper common name :) so many gorgeous ones!

Thats because there most often is no real common name and just made up seller names which can you get any type of fish if youre unlucky. For example: You want small corys and ask for salt and pepper corys? You could either end up with the small habrosus or worse case with the 5 -9times the size corydoras paleatus. So always stick with the proper scientific name.

@@SpeikobraRote true never looked at it that way makes sense .

@@SpeikobraRote The problem gets exponentially worse when you look at it through a ‘global’ lens. If I want a Green Neon in Germany, I have to ask for a Blue Neon. If I asked for a Green Neon, I’d get a January (or Costello) Tetra. Granted… the German common names are often worse than the scientific names. 😂

@@Toc2023 Oh trust me as a german I know the pain thats why I always go with the latin name. Also there is no regulation in how sellers can name a fish... Like they get imported and if theres no name some make up anything that might sell well. Tho some fish have one single common name with zero variation. Besides... i still think Blue Neon is what describes that fish the best cause I can not see any green in these fish. We have "Red Neon" which is the real proper best swarming neon, then we have neon tetra which is the downgrade of that which is riddled with diseases and then we have of cause the blue neon, no red just blue stripe so.. blue neon! and of course black neon tetra which... is black. Duh. So not all our names make no sense :)
