FS: L483 “CoralPrince Pleco” – Breeding-Sized Adults & Juveniles – Silver Spring, MD

Hey everyone,

Due to an upcoming move, I’ll be taking a break from the hobby and need to re-home a large group of my L483 “Coral Prince" Plecos. These are a very striking Panaqolus species, similar to the more commonly known L397s — but they’re far less frequently seen in the hobby. These guys LOVE driftwood, definitely make sure to have a healthy amount for them to chew on.


Pricing (offered cheap to find homes quickly):

  • 2–3 inch juveniles → $20 each

  • 3–4 inch subadults → $30 each

  • 4+ inch adults (breeding size) → $40 each

Trigger Your Corys NOW!

It's October 30 and we have the first low pressure system in the Mid-Atlantic in MONTHS. Barometric pressure will be below 1000 millibars this afternoon. If you have adult Corydoradinae groups you've been trying to get going, try a large water change with cool water (take the tank down 5-10 degrees F). If you can get your hands on RO or distilled water, all the better. Do the water change any time between now and Halloween evening. Refresh your microworm cultures to get ready for fry... If you get fry they'll be big enough to sell by the spring auction. Let's go!

Inflatable Pools Market Making a Splash in the Global Leisure Industry

The Inflatable Pools Market has witnessed remarkable growth over recent years, driven by rising consumer interest in affordable and convenient home leisure solutions. As urban living spaces become smaller and families seek easy ways to relax without the expense of traditional swimming pools, inflatable pools have emerged as an attractive alternative. Their portability, cost-effectiveness, and ease of installation make them a popular choice for both residential and commercial applications.

One of the major factors fueling the Inflatable Pools Market growth is the increasing demand for outdoor recreation and family-oriented activities. The post-pandemic shift toward staycations and backyard entertainment has further accelerated market adoption. Additionally, manufacturers are focusing on innovation—developing durable materials, eco-friendly PVC alternatives, and creative designs that cater to all age groups.


The Inflatable Pools Market is also benefiting from e-commerce expansion. Online platforms such as Amazon and Walmart have made it easier for consumers to access a wide range of inflatable pool…

Amano Shrimp Breeding

The first of two Amano berried females finally released her eggs yesterday. I have now moved all the larvae to a marine tank with phytoplankton and tons of air flow to keep the water moving. Sorry, the video is a little washed out due to the phytoplankton, and it needs a light to attract the larvae to an area to capture a short clip. They are currently white to clear little specks, making it difficult for the camera to focus. The little specks to the left are all larvae.

Last chance to get this right for the year. Amano shrimps somehow know it is getting cold outside.

So far they have transitioned fine now that it is day 4.
