Welcome to Gaia! ::

I just got back from the fish store! I picked up an albino bristlenose pleco, 4 swordtails, and a betta to start off with. biggrin I'll take pictures of them once they're all the way in the tank. I'll also post them when I get a chance. biggrin They are currently in the acclimation stage. biggrin

Edit: I have now added them to the tank. Here's some pictures:

Here's one of the male Swordfish and one of the female Swordfish:



Here's the Pleco (It's a baby. biggrin ):





Here's the Betta:



The other female Swordfish:



All the Swordfish together:



It was difficult getting pictures of the Pleco, as it didn't want to stay still for long lol (not sure if it's a male or female yet). The other male swordfish didn't seem to want his picture taken, lol. I'll get a picture of him later. ^_^

Looks really pretty!

Thanks! I love them all! Their personalities are starting to come out. They are more relaxed today. biggrin I haven't named any of them yet. The pleco is quite speedy and active. The pleco was also the first one to become comfortable. When I put it in the tank, it immediately started zooming around cleaning things, making getting pictures of it difficult. biggrin I wonder what gender it is, but I think I have to wait until it gets older to really be able to determine it. The betta has been exploring the tank rather than hiding or staying in one spot today. He also ate this morning, chasing the food all over the place. biggrin He didn't eat last night, he just wanted to stay still. The swordfish have been exploring for the most part, and watching them eat is really amusing. They chase the food like crazy going after it. whee

Ok. Thanks for letting me know. biggrin Right now, the pleco is only maybe 1 inch, so he/she has a ways to go before developing the bristles most likely.

They're so cute that small! Well, they're cute no matter what size they are, lol. It'll take a while before it grows to full size.

Yep. It is sooo cute!!!!!!! ^_^ It was also the only bristlenose the store had too. biggrin Almost all the fish in the tank the swordfish were in were staring at me while I was trying to decide on what fish I wanted. lol It was amusing watching the clerk try to catch the fish. The ones that I didn't want were fairly relaxed as if they knew they were safe. They predicted the pleco was going to be relatively easy to get, but it proved to be fairly difficult to catch, though not as difficult as the swordfish were.

Thanks! I agree. I looked at the bettas they had and loved him. biggrin He wasn't too happy to have tank mates at first, but he's gotten relaxed about them as well as his new surroundings. biggrin

That's one of the many things I like about watching plecos! biggrin
