Pterygoplichthys weberi- please confirm your order for the meeting

[msjinkzd]

I got a bunch of these guys in, they get to 7.5". They came out of Peru, are omnivores, and relatively easy going fish that just get a little too big for my fish room.
Here is a profile: http://www.planetcatfish.com/common/species.php?species_id=860
Here is what they look like now, at 1"

They will be $10, about half market value- first come, first served!

[chriscoli]

If there are a few left, I'm interested, too! I mean....with a name pronounced, "terry gop LICK thees" how can one refuse?

Ah, well then....

 

[msjinkzd]

they were supposed to be Parotocinclus- vastly different fish, LOL. They are sure cute right now!!!
They are just over 1" at the moment Eating well, and look great.

In other news, most of the other vendors I have spoken to have rarely or never seen them. They were described in 2006 adn are the smallest of the genus and supposedly mild mannered but sturdy (their words)

[mchambers]

Very cool. They get a little big for my room, too, or I'd be interested.

Very cool fish, indeed. But I am surprised so many people are willing to get the fish and in quantity of 3 or more. I would love to get a few, but I think the fish would be too big for my tank and current residents....

 

[AndyNarwhal]

I want 6 for a few reasons.

1. They are very young and there is the possibility of losing one or more before they mature.
2. I intend to breed them as I have not spawned a Pterygoplichthys yet and the other species get too large and are too common to make it practical. Getting 6 provides statistically sufficient odds that there will be at least one male and one female.


Rachel,
How long will they be in QT for?

Andy

 

[msjinkzd]

They will be available for the meeting. I have not had any losses, and they look great I WILL be attending the November meeting, so it should work out well for those who are interested.

Good to know! See you in a couple of weeks.
