Thanks for the welcome everyone.

Four of them are doing very well. One died about 48 hours after I got them. I think he was just so stressed. I have had them almost 3 weeks now and the other 4 have settled in and are doing great now.

Thanks for the suggestion. I had wanted to do a fishless cycle but I actually didn't have the time. I had about a week between actually finding the fish and getting them (barely enough time to really set up the tank), so thought it was best to well established filter media off another tank.

Yeah I considered the pros and cons for gravel, sand, and a bare tank. Seems none are perfect. Sand was not an option in this tank because I have definite currents. I have read on this site that with currents, the food does not stay still with a bare bottom for them to eat, but gravel allow it to ge...

Here are pictures just before they went into their new tank. They are pale in the pictures from almost a day of travel and all, bu...

My guess all male and they need a good feed Hmmm.. that would be very very disappointing. Are you just basing it on the body shape being more V, because I assumed this was because they were on the thin side. I was thinking the one all the way on the left looks to be a female even with the thin body...

Are there Zebra Plecos in Columbia?

So I have an offer to buy wild caught Zebra Plecos. When I asked about how they got them out of Brazil, they said they came from Columbia but assured me they were L046? I have to make a decision pretty quickly as I am sure he will find someone else to buy them soon otherwise. Could they be real? I s...

Apistos and Zebras

Hi I was considering a tank with zebra plecos and apistogrammas (most likely pandoras). Has anyone had success with such a mix. Is there any reason it won't work? Would both sets have a chance at breeding?
