As
all know our general supplier for aquarium fish LiveAquaria.com and Drs.
Foster & Smith (same company) ended their online sales business, due to
state online sales tax issues. Thus links on fish for sale
no longer work as 02/22/10.
We are changing our tropical fish
suppliers now to "Aquarium-Club MEMBERS ONLY", so please stop back,
because we will have more tank raised fish shortly,
15 years of selling tropical fish online and
safely shipping fish and supplies to thousands of satisfied customers, without any
complaints!!!

General Comments:
The nocturnal Trinidad Plecostomus
is a great candidate for the community aquarium. Usually greenish yellow in
color, its patterned fins camouflage it well in a planted tank. It comes from
the Amazon region of South America from fast flowing rivers to flood plains.
A larger aquarium of at least
70 gallons is recommended to house the Trinidad Plecostomus. It will get rather
large in the aquarium, so provide plenty of room for it to move. Plants, rocks,
and driftwood help mirror its natural environment and help give it a sense of
security.
In the wild this fish is an egg
layer, but breeding in an aquarium setting has not been successful.
A useful herbivore in an
aquarium with algae, the Trinidad Pleco will keep algae under control under
normal tank conditions. If no algae are present, supplement with algae wafers
and other herbivore preparations.
