Jen

Thanks for the dietary warning!

That will be on the top of the requirements list when considering them.

Of those of you who have ancistrus, which have you found to be "certified algae munchers?"

Thanks

Jim

I have always like the Queen Arabesque Pleco or L260 but I don't like to keep the bigger fish, I know 5 inches is small for a pleco but I like fish 2 inches and under.

There's a guy selling juvi L183 on APC. I like the looks of this specie. It looks like something ancient in a tuxedo!

He claims the overall length doesn't seem to be more than 4" which is reasonable. But I lost interest when he said they don't eat BBA which is my only nemesis at the current time.

I'm winning the battle but it's slow going.

Excel eats BBA. That's really your best bet for that!

Yup, available from Amazon prime in the "convenient 2qt bottle" to which I've added a bottle mounted pump. I'm now doing 3 full squirts each day and 6 full squirts after a 50% water change.

Almost time to order another...I'll get two this time.

Just goog'd L46. Now that's a handsome fish! How big does it get? Any fry?
