I took a double take when looking at my 29g, it looked a tad cloudy, not the norm. So I did some looking around the rocks and found my Bristle Nose Pleco dead. Not just dead, but his guts apparently eaten out. He's lived in this tank for over a year with a Black Ghost and a "Snowflake" Eel, they have never seemed to have any problems at all. It's like a kick in the head, I'm not happy. Damn!! OK. I think I have made a discovery after a good deal of consideration, I am getting a strong suspicion about why our pl*cos have been dying. When I first logged in to rafm, and read the FAQ, a couple of decades ago, I learned that the common name for a certain group of suckermouth catfishes should never be spelled with the letter "e" in the middle. The "e" was always to be replaced with a "*", an asterisk. Since I have returned, I've noticed that nearly all posters here are ignoring that important factor in writing about their pl*cos. I've lost two ancistrus, both with a round, red dot on their backs, and I'm learning that this red dot is appearing on many ancistrus in many fish stores and home aquariums across the continent, and I haven't found anyone with a good explanation. Well, I retrieved the corpse of my most recent dead ancistrus, and looked very closely at the red dot, and you know what, it wasn't a dot, it was a red asterisk. I think that our straying from posting convention has finally caught up with us, or at least caught up with our pl*cos. It's the only explanation that makes sense. -- Mister Gardener ......Sherlock Holmes...is it? Nice work lol any how, how about sucker fish (type) Nikki |
