    Keep an eye out for the gold nugget. On the second photo, from the reflection, you can see the stomach is sunkun in a bit. Make sure it gets food. Usuaully green veggie leave type is better on this stage than just algae wafer or pellets.

    Otherwise, nice fish you got there

    We specialize in rare and exotic fish from around the world.

    So far i've been putting large sections of cuccumber in there at night.. i started with carrots but they don't seem to like them, the BN's love the cuccumber so i'm hoping that the gold nugget likes it as well... thank you for the advice...is there a particular veggie that you would recommend???

    thanks buddy! I'm pretty happy with him so far. I was warned that he could be an issue with other plecos, but i took a chance that my 77 would be big enough to allow space for everyone

    Ya it is definitely addictive. I had no idea about the variety until I started reading posts on this sight.
