Wow you have cool fish! Do some of those type of plecos have bristles on thier fins and some on the face, cause we saw a big one in a display tank at bridges that did and it was soo cool, but the small ones they have for sale didnt have bristles.

I'm not sure if there is a green phantom bristlenose, but I'd really like to find out!

there are green dragon bristlenose plecos though, love the green phantom. I have one myself

 

[ziggyzoo]

Im tempted to call the store and ask what it was cause i cant find one anywhere in pics online

Good looking and interesting fish. thanks!

 

[CMooreCichlids]

Thanks everyone. The tank is very busy all the time and rowdy!

8 dwarf pike (5 male - 3 female)
6-7 geo orange heads (not sure of the gender split, but some have spawned without fry)
2 L200 green phantoms
6 spotted silver dollars (metynnis lippincottianus)
11 giant danio

Think of replacing the silver dollars for large tetra's, but not sure how that'll jive with the rest of the stock?

That green phantom is beautiful, good looking Geo and Pikes as well.

Thanks, Madness! I'll see if I can get a pic of the other pleco. Its more of a bright fluorescent green/yellow.

Sneaky little L200!

I found a photo of the bristly finned green phantom i was talking about!! i guess there are 3 types of green phantoms can you see the bristle things on the fins?

 

[CMooreCichlids]

Dang that's a really nice looking L200. Gonna need to contact some importers and see if they have any like that.

Really like the blue in the fins too!

 

[Betty]

On the pectoral fin? Those are odontodes.

The one I posted? It's Just a random internet photo I found, no clue where it came from

They develop as they mature and usually males will have thicker or longer ones than females. (I think -- I'm not an expert!)
