My poor girl didn’t make it. Albino long fin. After three years today is a sad day. I will be in the market for one of your soon. I have to figure out if I should nuke my tank or try and wait out any illness that could be in the water 😭

Found a surprise baby Pleco in my tank Thursday! I was thrilled!!!! How he survived in my Tiger Bard tank is a mystery. I moved him into another tank and he's thriving! :-) Such fun having a new baby!!!

Of all the videos I’ve watched on how to care for Bristle Nose pleco babies, this has been my favourite! Love your videos! Thank you for all your helpful advise. I now feel I have all the knowledge to hopefully raise a healthy bunch of unexpected Super Reds that are currently with dad in a large, open, fake log in my aquarium 🤷‍♀️ I’m so surprised, neither are very old, and he isn’t the best boyfriend from how I’ve seen him treat her, but he must be doing something right because he hasn’t even had to trap her! 😂

I thought I saw a bunch of trumpets on the glass last night but nope, tons of LF super reds in my 40b!! This video is very helpful, thank you! Unfortunately I did a waterchange prior to the discovery, and the light was off, so I may have lost some. But not going to dwell on what I can’t change. Thank you again: they’re already eating the green beans, and they also seem to like when I break up the sera spirulina tabs. Not sure if they’re the best or not, but they eat them, lol.

I've had plecos and guppies die from using the Hikari Algae Wafers, it was a real bummer when I realized what was causing my fish to die off. This was a while ago and now I use the remains of the wafers to feed a snail bin. The only Hikari thing I know of that isn't good.
