[AquaticLife] pleco’s
I got a BN pleco as lagniappe with my first Cherry Shrimp order from a private seller online. The Cherry Shrimp and he did fine in the two day shipping process but I think they shipped the little guy too early in his life… he was only about 1/2″ long… but I thought he was going to make it at first but he only lasted three days and died without any known cause. Up until that third day, he was eating algae, swimming around, etc. Shipping pleco’s is no different than shipping any other fish or critters.
I wonder why the breather bags would be an issue for plecos unless when they suction to the bag, they might be able to breathe through the bag??? I wouldn’t think so due to the science involved in breathable bags but who knows.
A BN would be good for her tank size… the big question is does she want an ugly nosed male or a “normal” female. I would want one of the ugly duckling males. lol I’ve read you can’t tell the males from the females until around 8-12 months.. well at least the bristles do not grow large enough on the males until that time. Is this accurate? How old are yours before the bristles start showing up on the males?
