I got three Peckoltia sp. (L134) or Leopard Frog Plecostomus for my Mother's Day present.

They are only little fellows yet but hopefully I can raise them to adulthood.

Like many pleco species they are hiding out and sulking in the quaranteen tank at the moment but eventually they will come out.
I managed to sneak a couple of pretty average shots with the zoom lens. Now I can gaze at the photos instead of peering into the tank every time I pass by.

Great present, very interesting pictures & GL with your Peckoltia.

well done mate,nice little fellas,good luck with em

Congrats! One of my favorites...

They aren't hard to keep so I am sure you will be able to raise them to adulthood!!

Very nice fish. They are one of the prettier plecos for not quite an outrageous price if I remember correctly. Do you know if you can sex them?

ive been doin some reading on these guys,great choice,the article spoke very highly of em,but just 1 question,are these guys hard to spawn?jeez i love those colours,i imagine they look even better now they have settled in and had a feed?
if you dont mind me asking,how much did the cool dudes set you back....

The L134's seem to be doing ok. They are still in the quaranteen tank as the tank I want to put them in is currently undergoing a worming treatment and I want the tank perfect for them.

They don't seem to have a huge voracius appetite as I have to syphon the uneaten food out every couple of days. Maybe its just because I only have 3 of them and they are only little yet. They have colored up to a nice bright yellow and black so they must be ok, diet wise.

I got them from http://www.plecofanatics.com/forum/showthread.php?t=55517
as a special deal. They do pack them in oxygen for airfreighting and send interstate.

Being only little yet, they are difficult to sex but there are head length and body dimension differences between the 3 so hopefully I have a mix of sexes with them.

coolsounds like all is going well for em,what size is the tank they going intoid like to get some of these guys,but my tanks are full so maybe later
