Oooh, looks very cool. Can you keep those fish with goldfish?

Novaguin: I've kept bristlenoses (Ancistrus) with goldfish the last 10 years, and yes, I believe it works But certain pleco-species may develop a habit to eat the slime coat of other fish, especially discus. Which is why it's better to err on the safe side and check out all the information about the certain pleco you want before buying it!

Hanna: Thanks! I love his pattern

Any particular species you would say is good to keep with goldies? They look interesting to keep in the hopefully future tank.

very cool! I have 2 plecs myself and I feed the sinking foods and things.

Nossie - you might already know this since you've kept plecos with goldies for 10 years, but I read that the reason some plecos feed off the slime coats of some fish is because they're starving to death! make sure you feed your *awesome* new pleco good food like cucumber (which the goldies will probably snack on) and sinking foods formulated for the pleco.

Thanks everyone!

Abbie: My tank is usually around 75-77 degrees I decided to install the heater now because for some reason, the apartment gets goddamn cold in the night and heats up like crazy in the morning! D: Might need to talk about that to someone...
I've had very many bristlenoses And lots of my friends did too All of us with success Bristlenoses don't grow too big either, about 5 inches, so you could keep 3-4 of them Make sure you have more females than males though! Just to be safe

Novaguin: I would place my vote on some smaller pleco species that you could keep a few of in the tank, like common Ancistrus (bristlenoses) or maybe some smaller plecostomus species Peckoltias tend to stay pretty small too, and they are very peaceful and cute! Their fins are very soft and beautiful, especially the Pretty Peckoltia looks like it's wearing a dress or something I'll try to find some more specific L-codes later for you to google

Oranda Lover: Yep, I'll be buying some zucchini for him and the goldies to feast on! And I'll try to find some nice frozen shrimp since they sink, and may be more appropriate for him to eat This particular species will grow absolutely huge, and I don't know if that's just me, but since I learned how big he'll be... he already looks larger! x'D

Plecos grow rather quickly.
I think mine is very much like Nossies.

Here is a big list of l number plecos:

And here is a list I made a while ago of smaller types of plecos...well what I think are small plecos (you will have to double check):
L134
L104
L002
L169
L397
L168
L202
clown pleco
bristlenose pleco

I am not sure how common they are...I know some of them are expensive here in Australia.

OrandaLover: Lol! xD Who knows?! xD I might just be feeding him on love today I'll buy them all some fruit and toss some zucchini in there

Abbie: Some of the fish listed may be pretty hard to get, since some cat fish simply won't breed in captivity, so the fry is caught in the wild And then again, because of that, some fish are simply not allowed to be caught anymore. There's one pleco that I'd love to keep some day! It doesn't grow much bigger than 30cm, and it's called Green Royal Pleco They're gorgeous

Andrea: For now he's about 7cm ( Could've sworn he was 5 when I bought him! xD) And no, I don't know the gender On planetpleco.com, they said that these fish don't breed in aquaria, so people rather don't bother trying to gender them in the first place
I believe it'll be easier when he'll be older though! You should see them when they're big, they're so beautiful

Yeah! There were some here that were 60€!! And there's a guy that's breeding some very similar ones, he can easily sell them for a couple of hundred euros per fish! :O

Most likely For how long has he had that pleco?

I am feeding mine zucchini now! He loves, loves, loves it!! He even eats the peel so there's nothing left at all!

A few years now. This might sound horrible but I wish they stayed real small, they are sooo cute when they are small like in the photo I posted *squeal*
