At 6:25pm on October 20, 2011, Noddy said…: I have 5 tanks running. One with 2 Oscars, 6 Silver Dollars, 2 Pleco's and a Florida Gar.

One with 3 loaches, 5 catfish and 2 Pleco's. A brackish with a Green Spotted puffer and 2 tanks as guppie and snail breeding tanks.

And that's enough for now!

At 8:05pm on October 20, 2011, Fishtankkid said…: Thats awesome because i have five tanks to. One with 3 striata botia, 2 S.Europterus, 1 pleco, 3 upside down cats, 2 corys. The reason why i dont have my corys in a school is because i bought them when i didnt have much knowledge and they have done perfectly fine in the pair and are best buds. A while back they went into a breeding ritual but didnt find any eggs so guess they never breeded. Love your tanks and i think five is anough for me to for now.

At 6:34pm on October 21, 2011, Fishtankkid said…: What species of pleco do you have.

At 5:15pm on October 27, 2011, Fishtankkid said…: ya i heard the Xingu polka dots were pretty rare, you have quite the collection of plecos thats awesome. I only have 2 hypostumus plecostumus but there pretty neat. I wish i had a Xingu polka dot i think there pretty cool.

At 5:16pm on October 27, 2011, Fishtankkid said…: Your pleco's look healthy what do you feed them.

At 5:51pm on October 27, 2011, Noddy said…: pleco wafers, tablets. chips and the usual zuchinni supply.

they will eat a quarter of zuchinni every other day.

You really got hypostomusses as well?

They are pretty rare here too. Mostly they get confused with members of the pterigoplychtis family. But they are easy to distunguish, if you count the number of finspines of it's back fin. If it's 10 or more, it's a common pleco, hypostomus got less then 10 backfinspines. Plus they stay at 1 foot, while the commons grow upto 2 feet,

I just posted some tankpics, do you like them?

At 10:28am on October 28, 2011, Fishtankkid said…: ow i did not now that when you count the back spines if it is 10 or more it is a common pleco and less than 10 is a hypostomus thats pretty cool. I have the common pleco because i just counted and they both have 10 back finspines thanks for letting me now how to tell the difference i think thats pretty neat.

At 11:00am on October 28, 2011, Fishtankkid said…: ya i like the 180 gallon tank where did you get that rock background it looks cool cant find them around here or did you make the background. see you have the monsterfishkeepers sticker on the 180 it cool. I liked the 55 gallon community where did you get the polka dot botia have found any around here love the pics of the tanks.

At 3:40am on October 29, 2011, Noddy said…: The background is a DIY.

It's styrofoam, covered with epoxiresin.

I wrote an article on OscarFishLover that explains how it's done.:

Here's a link:

if you have any questions , just ask away, and i'll try to explain.

The Polka dot botia's came from my special pleco supplier, and he imports a lot of Uberrare fish.

So i understand you can't find them.lol
