Some plec articles on PFK

Thought these might be of interest to those who havent read them.

"Suckermouths scrape a living."

http://www.practicalfishkeeping.co.uk/content.php?sid=2767

Also contains some info from Nathan Lujan's Loricariidae dissertation (which I keep meaning to read!)

"Why do plecs have curved pupils?"

http://www.practicalfishkeeping.co.uk/content.php?sid=2773

"What conditions do bulldog plecs need?"

http://www.practicalfishkeeping.co.uk/content.php?sid=2714

This one also has a method of making your own artificial algae/biofilm.

Thanks Matt.

Great stuff, cheers!
