Fishy Passion

Shifted my L114 aka Leopard Cactus pleco and my L91 aka Three Beacon Pleco to my parrot fish community tank..

As the title says so....

random shots of my pleco tank..

Introducing some of the inhabitants...

From left to right:

an albino veil tail pleco, L014 sunshine pleco, cory sitting in pottery..

Another L014, Whiptail catfish!

Just a couple of days back..

I was talking about my veil tail albino brittle nose pleco that had a shell attached to its fins....

and when I just saw it again:

Apparently, the part after the stuck shell fall off...

Really wonder if it would grow back again!

This fragment of shell has been stuck onto the fins of my brittlenose for a long time..


It is a long finned variety of the common brittle nose.. somehow, the long fins gave me the impression that it is more fragile..

What do you think I should do?

Got this whip tail catfish today...

Trying hard to indentify it..
its quite a large piece, pics of it in its bag:

Released into tank:

While the words whip can evoke thoughts of sado machoism and bondage roleplay, haha...

This whip tail catfish is so named because its rear end of the tail resembles a whip.

I had been observing this fish for a very long time at the aquarium, and so today, it just got into me that I HAD to get this fish...

In its new environment, can see a tank mate checking him out already...

Interesting creatures dont you think so?

also known as Leopard Cactus Pleco, my L114 has really grown a lot since I last got him...

His favourite hiding place is in his cave, as you can see from the pictures:

From my own personal experience, it is quite an easy to care for catfish, not really fussy with foods. However, when it comes to territory, it can get pretty bossy!
