Good for you for starting this again, Gary. Your old pleco thread is something I really miss from the previous forum. Let's try and make this one even better!
Just for fun, I thought I would throw in a pic of one of my newer L200a (Baryancistrus demantoides). This group is much greener with a yellowish fringe, compared to the original 2 that I got which were limey yellow. I guess it depends a lot on collection spot.
Thanks everyone. The L239's are really nice. They change colour depending on lighting, mood and background. You can see in that one pic where there are 6 of them (can you count them all?) and they are showing different levels of blue on the fins and body. I can't get enough of these guys. They're a bit tough to get acclimatized and eating, but starting with healthy fish helps. I lost my first ones from last year, but this time, they are all doing great and eating lots.
I took the afternoon off to spend with my kids, but they were napping when I got home, so I took a lot of pics. Where's that new photo contest?
L226 - I love these guys, I can't believe people didn't snap them up from Charles. IMO, one of the most attractive affordable plecos. They can be greyish under stress to this orangish brown when happy and full. I think this chubby one is a female. To my knowledge, no one has bred these.
Another 2 L239 pics. Believe it not, it's really tough to get a good shot of these guys without manual focus, as the autofocus system gets confused by the dark smoky grey colour of the body.
This is one great looking pleco - L91 Three Beacon. They always hide when I get the camera up, but I managed one good shot.
L75 - Pekolita sabaji - couldn't him to get his dorsal up
My one remaining L200a Baryancistrus demantoides . This guy is the limey yellow one that I like so very much.
SB600, Macro, 18-200...I gotta save some money for the fish and the new cube tank dude.
