hi can anyone help i have two plecos plain light brown in colour with no patterns on them at all they have brown red eyes and are 4 to 5 inches long could anybody tell me what type of pleco this is and how big they grow and most importantly are my oscars safe with them.
ps thankyou all for making me feel welcome as im new to this site

to properly identify plecos it is imperative to have a good photo to go on. if you can post a photo of your plec this can facilitate an id.

sorry mate, i am not good in plecs. and i hate
plecs because it is now considered as menace in
our local fresh water. (surf: janitor fish in
Laguna Bay)

i believe plecos have red eyes. they are kinda bulky in the head area and i think they get about 7." plecos make great tankmakes for oscars provided they are not much smaller then the oscar and he sees it as food. in that case u often end up with 2 dead fish. the pleco is armored and the oscar will end up choking because he cant swallow it. plecos are peacefull but sometimes they will try to swim into other fish to defend themselves which never causes much harm. so your o is safe, just a matter of identifying it

can you post a pic please???????

Go to www.planetcatfish.com/cat-elog/index.php
click on L numbers
and enjoy
should take around about 2 hours and you'll probably find that there are more than one it could possibly be (several variations of the same fish family)
Best resource for pleco's I've found

sorry if the link don't work - couldn't get cut and paste to work

Planet catfish is a good resource site and once there you will realise that there are hundreds and hundreds of Pleco's to look at, ranging in size from a couple of inches to two feet long.

they sound like albino chocolate plecs to me. they stay small for plecs, about 8-12 inches. not like the common ones who can reach 3 feet long! good luck with ur search!

HI ALL THANKYOU FOR ALL YOUR HELP AND ADVICE , I HAVE SINCE FOUND OUT THEY ARE IN FACT CHOCOLATE ALBINO PLECS. THANKS AGAIN

good spot lookoutnelly!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
