when i first got them somewhere there lo..

but i wonder why you got yourself small ones ah, when the bigger ones are available as well? or maybe mix quantity?

[iwishweallcouldwin]

Nice catch! I personally like those evenly striped ones like what you have, but I heard from a forumer that as they grow older most of their lines will eventually break.

I also prefer smaller ones, simply because they look more cute to me and I do not really have the intention to breed them. If you do then its best to sex the adult pieces apart and grab your desired pairs. Some believe that bigger sized plecos are also more hardy and stable as compared to smaller ones. My limited experience with plecos kind of support this claim too. But nonetheless, I am more attracted to small dudes and dudettes, as I enjoy watching my fishes grow up in my tanks.

Here's mine... sorry for the low class photo is taken by my mobile phone.

[EvolutionZ]

johannes, yea im getting small ones.. i read that adult L134 fight fiercely over caves.. most likely will result in the weaker one being trapped in the cave and killed.

iwishweallcouldwin, i think breeding them need to wait for 2 years? haha..

doubleace, wah! finally you shown yours! very nice!

[doubleace]

Thanks... yours too.. Cant really take a clear pic... will try harder.. next time will take them in a bag first before putting them into the tank.

[EvolutionZ]

yea.. you should.. with you L134 tank..
im getting another 2 today.. haaha

[Savant]

[EvolutionZ]

2 of my new L134 in my DIY caves..

after about an hour.. check again..

now left 1 inside only. the other guy lost?

the tank set up.. abit yellowish due to wood leaking tanins..

[StanChung]

[Poor man's L46. Ha!] I have 7-8 tails but to shoot them i have to drug them and put them on a piece of wood like Eugene. [just kidding! ] Must be a saint to wait for him to perch on the piece of wood!

[genes]

Buggar! You saw through it...the drugging part...

[Savant]

Oh nice DIY caves... I have the same problem with Stan... They don't keep still enough for photo shoots...

They are by far the most aggressive amongst my collection of smallish plecos..

[StanChung]

Hehe! These fellas killed two of my zebras. I will post these 'criminals' as soon as I get some pics that are worthy.

[EvolutionZ]

thanks savent, i just bought 3 triangle caves from celticfish, thanks to doubleace for helping me collect. lovely caves , celtic.

stan , wow.. expensive kill huh?

i now have a total of 5 caves and lots of hiding space among the wood and 3 x L134.. most likely will stop at 5 L134.

i manage to shoot 2 of them hiding..




4 caves in a roll.. this way, hope i can see the L134 more often.
