    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

I have multiple proven pairs of Red Marble Ancistrus. They are healthy, vibrant, and great producers. I get a clutch of eggs every two weeks from these guys and I don't feed them anything other than a variety of flake foods. Both partners have a very bright orange/red color to their lighter regions, and the males are great fathers. They will raise the eggs to the point of independence if you let Them. They have just entered their breeding prime, but they are only a year or so old and thus still have quite a few years of production ahead of them.

A well kept and well fed pair can produce as many as 80 babies a month, which can easily be sold for $5 each when they reach sell-able size (1.5-2 inches). This particular color morph of Bristlenose Pleco is also the most vibrantly colored form, and is considered especially desirable to the normal, brown or albino varieties.

Bristlenose Plecos are terrific algae eaters, and a mature pair like this can live comfortably in a tank as small as 10 gallons, or can successfully eradicate algae in a tank as large as 150 gallons. You will be amazed at their ability to keep the glass clear.

Pairs are available for $125. Shipping overnight with Fedex only, or I can meet up within a reasonable distance of the Philadelphia area. Pictures are representative of the bloodline and the level of quality you can expect. Please feel free to ask any questions by emailing [email protected]. Thank you for your interest.
