Mine is an absolute sweety. Have had him for a year or so & has never been confrontational to anything else(in a 70G community tank). For the first 6 months or so, lived completely off the bogwood, but now snacks on the odd algae tablet or a bit of cucumber. He is now the proud uncle to my tiny Zebra plec (about 1 1/2 inches) who follows him around the tank like a puppy.
They are beautiful plecs, quite happy to stay at the front of the tank & be very visible. After a year, mine is now about 4 inches, can't see him getting too much bigger. |

I had 3 but sadly lost them fairly recently to a savage bacterial infection
 My adult was a beautiful, visible and active fish and I would definitely get more when I can. IMO a 70l would have been on the small side for her (she was about 5" plus a bit more for her lyre tail and pretty beefy) |
