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.u...t.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.u...t.php?sid=2773

"What conditions do bulldog plecs need?"

http://www.practicalfishkeeping.co.u...t.php?sid=2714

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

Nathan posts on PC, and so does Milton Tan, they both work(ed) with Jonathan Armbruster at Auburn University.

Nathan Lujan is now at Texas A&M. http://wfsc.tamu.edu/winemiller/lab/...ujan_main.html
