@Gingerlove05 your apisto looks one mean fish but beautiful colouring
Thanks :)
Sounds like a nice general idea :)
It would be interesting to see what people have had as their favourites and the characters.
Nine is pretty, he’s pretty shy though, well hates my phone/camera, but “shouts” at me when he wants fed lol. I have his sisters in our other tank.
Jayne was unusual as (aside from being a beast) he had colour on all of his fins (dorsal, tail, anal and ventral fins), except the pectorals. This made him unusual as it meant he was a “quadruple red” colour, whereas you commonly only get single (dorsal fin), double (dorsal and tail fin) or triple (dorsal, tail, anal fin) red or orange burst colouring.
To the tune of “the saints go marching in”:
Oh fluffy sheep! Oh fluffy sheep! Oh fluffy sheep are wonderful, they’re white Welsh and fluffy! Oh fluffy sheep are wonderful!

@fr499y, this months FOTM.

Are we just doing Plecostomus species or the Loricariidae family as a whole?

My fancy little L number posted up 😬. I have two L129’s , Hypancistrus debilittera , Zeb and Deb. such great fish. Looking forward to seeing the pics from others for this theme. (And if they have names, how did they get it? Whats the little story behind their names? )

For mine Zeb (cos its zebra just shortened) and for Deb, well it rhymed with zeb but is also very short for ‘ debilittera’ 😁
