Tempting pleco

[waterwatereverywhere]

Saw some green plecs, L200, in the lfs today. According to planet catfish they only grow to 6-7". But... when my tank's fully stocked, as far as plecs go, I've only room for a couple of bristlenoses. They were absoultely gorgeous fish though - maybe one day I can set up more tanks!

I saw one today aswell and I was very very tempted but they were to expensive with the other fish I brought. But if they are still there next time I will not hesitate I also saw some L46 but at 110 I decided against it.

 

[smithrc]

how much were the 46's up for??

where abouts too? (your in the UK arn't you.)

 

[ryan]

Yep I am in the UK and they were goin for 110 pounds which is very high even for Zebra Plecs, I can get them for 45 and 65 in other shops so I will wait until they come in there.

As a matter of interest, if I had two smallish bristlenoses, would another plec like the L200 go in the tank in my sig as well? Not that I'm thinking of it of course

What other bottom dwellers are there, sounds fine providing the bottom of the tank isn't over stocked.

I was planning to add a fourth oto, though they're not exactly bottom feeders. Apart from the plecs, I'd like a shoal of half a dozen corys. No other bottom feeders on the list.

Sounds like quite a few bottom dwellers but it should be fine prviding each Plec had a cave or some bogwood to reside in/on.
