    Ive never seen or heard About that type of pleco. Is it rare ? 

    I've never seen them before either. my LFS brought them in this summer. I think they've been around a few years but plecos take their time as we know.

    Talking about rare!  My LFS had these a few weeks ago. He said they are very rare. Ancistrus sp. Kiefner 2 he called them. 

    Maybe a Christmas gift to myself. If there's any left.

    Water changing mood

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    Now I feel almost weird, cause I have spread out my Water changes over the week. Five tanks from Sunday to Thursday. I get some extra time with the tank of the day and it doesn't become so massive as if I should have done them all the same day. Also I feel it keeps me more in touch with the hobby. It is the thing (and the feeding) that keeps me connected. Water change and then some time enjoying  the tank all nice and pearling (hopefully).

    Holes in the leaves!

    I find a test has its purpose. it can be helpful with a test value so you can follow the changes in your tank and on the test. How fast it increases or decreases in comparison to the changes you observe in the tank. A reference-point and how it develops. Might not be a general truth, but for a better understanding of your individual tanks development, it can be a good help, I believe.

    Crypt grows and dies back.

    could it be the light is too strong for the plant?

    is the tank new or has it been running for a while? read this about crypto Beckettii but it might apply here as well.

     

    "This plant is very sensitive to environmental changes and will take a long time (usually over a month) to establish in your tank, but is still one of the best crypts to keep in a tank.

    It is also a slow grower, but don’t try to keep it in strong light to accelerate growth or it may suffer from crypt melt in which it loses all its leaves when planted in a new tank, most likely due to a high nitrate concentration, sudden changes in its environment, or passing from living immersed to fully submerged.

    Most experienced aquarists suggest planting it in well-established tanks, which are a minimum of three months old. Freshly set aquariums have changing water chemistry and make it very hard for the C. Beckettii to adapt to its new habitat."
