Ilyodon Furcidens (Trout Goodeid) Greg Sage Line.

Amazing livebearers (semi-aggressive) hailing from Mexico. These fish are fast flowing cool water fish. Believe it or not do pretty well with some african cichlids. Omnivorous, but feed heavier on the herbivorous side. Great color and can live up to 5 to 6 years.

Get them while they are still rare and hot. Be the envy of your friend group. Already at a very low price. We will be having an additional sale on these bad boys until the end of Thursday 7/30/26.

Don't wait get them now!!!

Thanks for watching!!!

The Snow White Bristlenose Pleco (Ancistrus sp.) is a stunning, hardy freshwater algae eater. Growing to 4–6 inches, they require a minimum 20 to 30-gallon tank with driftwood and caves. These peaceful fish thrive at 72–82°F, pH 6.5–7.5, and eat algae, sinking pellets, and blanched vegetables.

Care & Tank Parameters: Temperature of 72°F to 82°F
pH: between 6.5 and 7.5, and KH of 3 to 10 dKH.
Minimum Tank Size: 20 to 30 gallons.
Diet: While they graze on nuisance algae, they require a varied diet. Feed sinking algae wafers, Repashy gel diets, and blanched vegetables (zucchini, cucumber, and spinach).
Tank Mates: Peaceful with community fish like tetras, rasboras, dwarf cichlids, and corydoras.
Appearance & Temperament: The Snow White variant—derived from albino strains—features a solid, bright white body and piercing blue eyes. They are available in both short-fin and long-fin varieties. They are peaceful toward tank mates, but males can be territorial toward other plecos. As they mature, males develop prominent, bushy bristles on their snouts, while females develop smaller or no bristles.
Availability & Sourcing: Because they are highly sought after, prices generally range from $30 to $50 depending on size and fin type.

Our long awaited next breeding project is the..... Synodontis Petricola.

We were able to pick these up at a local fish store, (who said they were breed locally) months ago and we were just waiting for tank some extra space to start breeding them.

It's come time to get together materials and fatten these fish up with lots of protin to get them in the mood.

Out next video about these fish will be how to set up you aquarium for successful breeding. So stay tuned.

Thanks for watching!!!
