Sometimes the colors cross back out — maybe 25%. This has to be their 1st batch. No idea how many more are in there… Edited August 14, 2021 by Fish Folk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ARMYVET Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 Plecos take a long time to mature. Would be great to get some golden females and maybe pair them back with the father to set the gene? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schoutedeni Puffers or Zebra Plecos or something like that. If I were in the market for high dollar fish I would be looking for someone like you to buy from. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They look fantastic Thanks! It’s a 33 gal long aquarium. I’ve been breeding Fundulopanchax Scheeli (Emerald Killifish). They’re similar to Gardneri. African, non-annuals.

Ragnarok12 Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 Very cool @Fish Folk, that setup has just become my new dream tank. I'm officially in love. I am such a fan of long aquariums, the dimensions are just so much more visually appealing to me than tall or standard ones. I'm pinning this post so that I can come back to it when I'm ready to emulate your build 😁 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here’s two videos of that build from last year that my son made… 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
