These gorgeous L397 Alenquer Tiger Pleco (Panaqolus sp.) have been hanging out for a while now and were stunned that they’re still here. This absolutely gorgeous Pleco stays small (5”) and is the perfect inhabitant to your community tank.

They do require some driftwood to munch on , but otherwise offer them some blanched veggies every now and then and some occasional meaty foods and they will be happy.

While they are not much of an algae eater, but with that incredible orange and black striping you won’t even care!

The best part is they are locally bred!

You may have heard: “Fish only grow to the size of their aquarium.” But that’s not true!
Fish have a natural growth potential based on their species. In too-small tanks, they don’t actually “stop” growing — instead, they suffer from:�• Stunted growth (organs keep growing while bodies don’t)�• Shortened lifespan�• Stress and weakened immune systems

Fish need enough room to swim, explore, and thrive. Providing the proper tank size means healthier, happier fish that live to their full potential.

What are some other common aquarium myths you hear?

We haven’t carried water lettuce for well over a year now because of its invasive properties.

Starting June 19, both water lettuce and water hyacinth will be added to the prohibited plant species in the state of Michigan.

It will be unlawful to introduce, import, possess or sell either of those species in Michigan.

If you currently have either of those species proper disposal of these plants is to seal it in a plastic bag and place it in your garbage. Do not compost or throw it directly into a trash can as this could be potential for it to make it to a nearby water source. Please spread the news so that we can prevent the spread of these invasive species into local waterways.
