I got 4 new leopard plecos L075. I usually only prefer the stripey plecos but I was very impressed with these spotty guys.

You certainly know how/where to find these interesting coloured fish.

Have a look in [link=My Profile] http://www.fishprofiles.com/forums/member.aspx?id=1935[/link] for my tank info

Near enough is not good enough, therefore good enough is not near enough, and only your best will do.

well done bren,you sure do get the nice fellas,if you dont mind telling me,what did they set you back in aussy dollars..

**Cough cough *** dollars.
I got them off a friend who is moving house soon and wanted a good home for them. She raised them from little 4cm guys so they are very precious.

thanx bren,im sure your freind will be at ease knowing they will be getting well looked after!
they are 1 good looking fish.
are they in there tank yet,or are they in qt?
what are you planning on keeping them with?
also what sized tank too
sorry for the bombardment of questions bren,just wondering thats all..

They had reached their size in a 4 foot tank and they owner wasn't prepared to move house and upgrade to a 6ft.

I didn't quaranteen them due to their size and the fact that my 6ft tank didn't have many fish in it anyway. The tank holds 334 ltrs actual water and has sand and driftwood.

Other occupants, an old full grown contradens male, a halfgrown L203 which I suspect may turn out to be female, one angel fish, one blue ram, one juvi longfin common bristlenose, a peacock eel and a dozen inch long zebra kutu nigritus upsidedown catfish.

Filtration is pretty impressive with a 2400lph canister with 3ft spraybar, and two internal power heads at each end pumping 2000lph each into the tank.

My angelfish had a ball surfing when I added the second internal filter. Most fun he has had in ages.

ah thats just awesome!
i take it theyve settled in ok
sounds like they have nothing to worry about...
how big do these fellas get....
mite get some more growth being in such good conditions with a tank upsize...

ill stop bothering you now,with all these questions..

The contradens in the background is pretty much full size now. The leopards are on ave 14cm and should get to 20 to 25cm. I am not even going to think about how big my 16cm L203 titanic is going to get but she's a gentle soul.
