Male WC Festae about a year old

Dovii also about a yearish old

Our fat head Red Isletas, although he isn't much for color, he's twice the size of the others we got at the same time so he can have that. Haha!

I need to get the fancy camera out to capture the others, they are just too stir crazy and won't hold still.There is also a beautiful Royal Pleco as well as a very nice Leopard pleco in there that are starting to show themselves.  More pictures to come!

Ha! Thanks guys, it's all about angles. The Devil is the biggest at around 6 inches. The other two are only around 4 inches at this time. They are being housed in a 100 gallon tank, hopefully I can get away with it for awhile longer. I don't want to be one to pick favorites but the Festae totally is #1 in my book, he is beautiful but also has a ton of personality already. Very fun "little" guys.

I have not had good success with plecos so I have stuck with the more common types. I currently have a rhino pleco but would love one of those. Maybe one day I will try my hand at another fancy pleco.

Thanks for the pictures. Your fish are looking good! Spot On

I'd probably cry if I lost either of them, we've had them for a little less than a year and they've done great so far, let's hope they keep it up. Lol

Thank you! Waiting for them all to grow out is getting harder!

Actually, I find the Red Isletas to be the best looking of the three.

great tank. I like how you got a ton of hiding places yet, the front is wide open for easy viewing of your wetpets.

This is a new set up. Goodwill always has the best supplies for hiding places. They are loving the bunkers. There was a lot of lace rock before, I prefer the wood, not as scratchy. We also got rid of a 6" Chinese algae eater that had become very aggressive, I think he had started sucking scales, too. He had to go. Everything had been very harmonious since the change. Very Happy
