Male parent is 4.5" and Female parent is 4" from a breeding L181 group.Plecos are 2+ months or older. Plecos will have small tiny spots with a dark black body (darker than regular plecos). White banding at the edge of the tail fin will go away as they mature and only appear for young fish These look like L183's but these are L181's. They have similar spotting pattern but the spots are more consistent through out the body. They have 8 sort rays on the dorsal compared to the 9-10 of the L183's. These fish are cheaper than L183's =)These fish like are Bristlenose pleco with both males and females having bristles around their face. Males have more bristles than females. Females tend to get 2 small bristles at the early age. Diet L181 plecos are not very picky eaters but I provide them with quality food similar to my BN plecos. The main foods listed are my go-to food for my plecos but other food can be introduced by gradually feeding it to them. This ensures the fish have a varied diet. I have been only feeding them these foods.

Same packaging as USPS shipping including adding heatpacks as needed.USPS Priority Mail shipping - No Live Arrival Guarantee. NO fish replacement or refunds provided for this shipping option except for CA customers. I have good experience shipping fish with this method as long as buyer is familiar how quickly priority mail gets to their location Estimate for USPS Priority (Updated 9/1/2022) WEST COAST - 2-3 Days (CA, NV) - w/ Live Arrival Guarantee for CA customers CENTRAL - 3-4 Days EAST COAST - 3-5 Days (AL, NY, VA) USPS Express shipping (preferred) - Live Arrival Guarantee - For my guarantee, I will ONLY offer to replace dead fish BUT buyer pays shipping if we cannot get a refund from USPS Express Guarantee. Buyer must send a VIDEO within 1 hour of delivery of the dead fish in the sealed bag showing the bag being slightly shaken to confirm the dead fish. I can also do USPS Express shipping with hold for pickup at same cost as USPS express shipping and I will provide you with the hub where you can pickup your fish. This is a better option for when you have an extreme weather condition on your end. USPS will ONLY refund express live animal shipping fees if they are delivered 3 days after shipping. Live animal Express shipments have a different guarantee. I have USPS tag all my orders as "live animal - others" in their system which is the legitimate way to ship fish. You can see the ruling below: https://about.usps.com/postal-bulletin/2009/pb22267/html/updt_001.htm#:~:text=2.4.,from%20the%20date%20of%20mailing. Fish are put on fasting 24 hours before being shipped. Reduced fish poop in the bag ensures better survival during shipping. Fish are professionally packed. Fish are individually double-bagged using 4 mil polybags (total 8 mil for 2 bags) that are sealed with an impulse sealer. I also use pure oxygen for each bag. Inner bags have the corners sealed diagonally to prevent ship from getting squished at bag corners. See PICTURES Fish are shipped in Styrofoam insulated box. I use a hot wire cutter for my insulation. Fish are shipped in large 12" x 9" x 9" boxes. Boxes have "Live Fish" stickers since orders are all tagged as USPS "Live animal - other" shipments. Heat packs are available and will be provided at no extra cost Care document is added with every order which gives additional information on care, breeding, feeding etc. I reserve the right to refuse an order is the temps are too extreme to ship fish safely. Please check your weather before ordering.
