Gorgeous fish! Are the two you have(had?) for sale as nice?

Also, I see a Royal, a congo tetra, a blue ram, a neon(or cardinal) and an angel, plus the hint of another pleco on the other side of the wood (am I right?). What type is the other pleco, and do they all get along in that tank?

On a related note, BA in Newmarket has a tank of good size Blue Rams with some excellent color, but they want $16.88 each for them.

Yup, our seeng a lot of stuff in that pic. The other pleco is an L191, they are pretty laid back, theres 2 of em in that tank. The Big GN is getting moved to a 6' tank shortly along with the congos. The rams are getting moved to a tank with Discus and my smaller GN's.

Ya I am down to 3 smaller Gn's I think I am just going to hang onto them for now.

I see L191 (dull-eyed Royal), but there is yet another just to the left of the Angel (behind the wood)...?

I picked up a red-eyed Royal today, not sure of the L-number (L190 I think), but looks like this one:

Royal Pleco (http://www.planetcatfish.com/catelog/image.php?image_id=1547)

It was from BA Whitby, $24.99 ($20 after 20% discount). Some had sunken bellies, but mine looked pretty good, I hope it works out.

Gratz on the aquisition I am sure it will do much better in your care. I too use not impressed with the average condition of the Royals they had/have I assume that many have passed since I was there on Boxing day.

[CanadaPleco]

congrats on the new royal... make sure you feed it lots of veg, mine devour the stuff.

[seanmc]

What kind of veggies do you feed?

And, more importantly, how do you prepare it?

I have frozen peas, romaine lettuce, and cuccumbers here, will that work? What do I need to do to make them ready to put in the tank?

Thanks very much!

i feed mine cucumbers.. if they are sliced thinly and frozen they'll sink, otherwise you need to anchor them down somehow. I also feed them sweet potato, butternut squash, pumpkin, all kinds fo stuff.
