scarlet pleco???

Postby cichfreak on Mon Apr 01, 2002 1:05 pm

i bought two common plecos about 3 inches long. they went in a 20g tank with african cichlids. and after about 1 month i noticed that the grey spots that normal plecos have had gone away and now they were red spots. and the last time i went to the lfs i saw a full grow "scarlet pleco" with the same red spots in the same places as my common plecos. are my common plecos really baby scarlet plecos???

Could be that the lfs worker did not realize that what she told you was a common pleco was acctually a scarlet . . .what a deal. Usually you will find that 1-2 employees acctually know something about fish, the rest just read the labels and pretend.

I friend was telling me about this really mean goldfish she got that is killing everything. I stopped by her house and it turned out to be a RD she bought it from walmart
