NB>        Hello James,
NB>          I did'nt know there were so many Plecos :>
NB> JM>   Zebra Pleco - $29 (2") - $100 (4") - nocturnal & very timid but
NB> JM>   very     aggressive and territorial towards other zebras - black
NB> JM>       and white striped reminiscent of a barber pole -
NB> JM>       hypancistrus?/peckoltia? zebra - /b/
NB>       Here in the U.K. this is called Hypancistrus Zebra. Common name
NB> Zebra Peckoltia or sometimes Emperor Peckoltia. More expensive over here
NB> than where you are!:\ In your other posting you said that some catfish
NB> like to gnaw on driftwood, is that the same as Bogwood?
Driftwood/bog wood, was discussed a while back and I can't remember if
they where the same. Here, drift wood is any wood that was saturated
with water and tends to sink.
Note: None of the plecos, I had/have are eating the driftwood I have.
So it may also depend on what type tree the wood came from. I don't know
what mine is but it is hard (doesn't come apart when rubbed etc) and
stays put on the bottom without a weight. It did take about 6 months for
it to stay put, before that it needed a weight.
