Thread: Pleco Surprise

  1. #1

    Default Pleco Surprise

    I was transferring my Discus from a 75g to a new 125 and when I looked into a couple of caves I had L-333 King Tiger Pleco fry, about 10. They appear to be about a week to 10 days old, don't have any yolksac, are about a 1/4". I transferred them to a 6g acrylic tank, we'll see if they will do good in their new tank. If they do good, will have some for sale in a couple of months or so. They're nice black & white in color.

    If someone wants all 3 Discus (2 blue pigeon bloods & 1 orange) I'll sell them for $45 for all. They are between 3-4". And I'll throw-in the hex tank with stand ! I would prefer you come pick these up at our house rather than chance bringing them to the swap, but I will if I get a commitment that they're pre-sold.
    The L-333's are about 1 inch, really nice = $20ea. or 3 for $50.
    Will consider trades on a 29 or bigger tank. ( I know, no more tanks ) !!!
