WHOLESALE SERIES: TROPICALI: BUTTERFLY PLECO

Now I do not know what these are known as and I need to retrieve all the correct L-Numbers for the plecos I have posted...

...but I knew these years ago as Butterfly Plecos. They also used to be under Peckoltia and actually Butterfly Peckoltias they used to be listed as but they never really were and the names get changed a great deal as the next scientist confirms that the last one to be paid to name these things must have been pis...drunk when naming them?!

LMAO!

WHOLESALE SERIES: TROPICALI: SNOWBALL PLECO

Well I think that is what these are, he did say and I forgot and I am sure I asked if they were Vampire Plecos and he answered Snowballs.

But then there are so many and all Plecos go by the infamous L-Numbers now, with L meaning Loricariidae which is the family encompassing all sucker mouth catfish.

Many people do not do well with these because they are always bought as youngsters, some like the water to be a little less hard, mix some rain or RO water if your in a particularly hard water area like we are in London, and the do like to chew on bog-wood and this helps them to digest food.

Rusty Pleco - Pterigoplichthys gibbiceps

A burnt orange and marbled Plecostomus, or Sucker Mouth Catfish.

These are fairly common and inexpensive but be warned they do get big though they take a long time to get there!
