Bristlenose ID?

IMG_5280.jpegIMG_5281.jpegHi everyone, it’s been a long time since I have posted or come to a meeting. Still have a couple of tanks.

I recently picked up a couple of bristlenose plecos from a kind woman who was moving. She needed to rehome them, I wanted more fish…duh! I know enough to care for them properly and they’ll be moving into a 40breeder as soon as it’s cycled.

Here are two pics of the same fish. The second fish has yet to come out of its “cave” with the lights on. The colors are fairly true in the pics, perhaps a bit more orange at times in person. Fish are 3-4” each. I have plenty of cave-type structures in their next tank.

Any advice on what type or morph these plecs are?

Thanks!

ISO Red Neon Blue Eye Rainbow Fish (Pseudomugil luminatus)

Hello!



I am looking for some Pseudomugil luminatus. They are my favorite and used to have them a few years ago. I just started my tanks up again and want to get them again. Does anyone know where I can procure some? I got them on aquahuna previously, but the weather is so hot and I would rather get some locally.



Thanks for the help!

Wanted - Patio Pond

I am looking for a larger plastic patio pond. I want to upgrade my whiskey barrel (20 gal). My wish is for an oval shaped and around 40-50 gallons. Does anyone have one that they are no longer using that is near Gaithersburg? My water plants need more room.

Anyone going to this year's ACA?

Hi all - is anyone in the DC/MD/VA area headed to the ACA this year? I'm trying to find someone to bring back a handful of Fischer's wood cats that someone attending has been trying to get to me. I have all females, he has all males.
