Wild caught L-134 Leopard Frog Pleco's

Here's some pics of my new wild caught L-134's. The larger one's have laid claim to the cave in this hollowed out piece of malaysian driftwood.

Thanks David.

Do you let the sides of your tanks go for algae growth and keep the front clean or what?

[plecoman]

With all the pleco's, I've never had much of an algae issue. They stay pretty clean. However, I do clean over the walls about once a month. If I don't, sometimes I get some kind of hard algae that starts building up on the walls. I really have to scrape to get that stuff off, if it gets out of hand.

Wow those look great, if you intend on breeding them I would love some fry. Good luck with the new acquires

Interesting. Algaes are strange!

Beautiful fish !
You won't have a problem moving them if they ever reproduce for you, IMO.
Do you off them fresh feeds like zucchini or squash or sweet potatoes ?
If so, how often ?

[plecoman]

Zucchini and english peas once a week. The rest of the time I rotate feeding color flake, shrimp flake, garlic flake, and spirulina flake and wafers. I also feed them earthworm sticks, shrimp sticks and veggie sticks that I buy from Kens fish. They eat anything I drop in the tank.

How often do you get fry and do you sell some. Not just from this group but your others also.

[cbryll]

They are absolutely beautiful!!! You got some great pictures of them too.

[plecoman]

I've never had any of them breed yet. My first group hopefully will be breeding sometime in the spring next year. It will be a while on these new one's yet. It takes around 3 years for them to mature enough to breed.
