 | Pleco Gurus tell me about Gold Nugget this species... |
So_Very_Sneaky     Ultimate Fish Guru Posts: 3238 Kudos: 2272 Votes: 201 Registered: 10-Mar-2004   | Ok, so after surfing Planet Catfish, I found that my Gold Nugget pleco is species Baryancistrus CF. Niveatus. Planet Catfish has no info on this guy, and I would like to know a little about him. I know he likes both algae wafers and sinking tablets for bottom feeders, he grabs them in his mouth and fin waddles back to his hiding spot with them. He is a robust 2 and a half inches in length minus the tail. He has the definite blockish head shape like zebra plecs have. So tell me about him!

| So_Very_Sneaky Ultimate Fish Guru Posts: 3238 Kudos: 2272 Votes: 201 Registered: 10-Mar-2004 | scotcat.com lists his number as L142, and planetcatfish.com lists his number as N/A. Scotcat says he will reach 6 inch max. Hes solid black with BIG gold spots if that helps. Come Play Yahtzee With Me! http://games.atari.com Http://www.myleague.com/yahtgames |

| Cup_of_Lifenoodles Fish Guru Posts: 2755 Kudos: 1957 Votes: 30 Registered: 09-Sep-2004 | Definitely sounds like a baryancistrus sp. to me---or possibly a leo. I can't access planetcat for reasons unknown (pertaining to something java related), but I'll give it a whirl later today at school. |
