Hello All

[JenCliBee]

Okay thanks alot.

I will check out that thread on small plecos.

I quite like the Queen Arabesque.

Queens wont get on well with the yoyo's if they are greedy eaters, 260's dont compete well for food and also wont challenge so they may go hungry and starve

I have 2 keyholes but recently they have both become stressed (they change colour) if you did get keyholes i'd only recommend 1. They are truly beautiful fish and are always at the front of the tank begging me for food. Candy stripe plecos are beautiful but a bit pricey, about £35.

WoW!!!, dont pay that for an L15 lol... you can get them for around £12- £17 if you looka round, nice plecs but not £35 nice lol

you say that jen but i dont think zebra are £150 nice


ooooooooooooooooooo

 

[The young one]

lol, i saw them at £22 once, which i think is reasonable.

ooooooooooooooooooo

Thats good then m8, becasue you can pick them up for £45- £60 now oh and btw they were that price becasue of how hard they were to get... L15 are ten a penny fish my friend

?WHAT?

were they dead,hybrid,plastic or diseased?

?WHAT?

were they dead,hybrid,plastic or diseased?

eh? you mean prices of 46's trust me m8 they dont have the price tag they once had lol... you WILL get them for as little as £45 a member on here was selling them at that price... and i know various sources that sell for £50-£60


But anyways this isnt what the OP asked

 

[matchstickman47]

fair enough

Thanks for the replies... Its so difficult putting a good stock list together when your virtually starting from scratch! Lol.

I am trying to take everyones advice here best i can...

How does this look?

1 x RTB Shark
6 x Odessa Barb (Mine Are Currently About 5-6cm)
1 x Dwarf Pleco (L15 Candy Stripe, L236 Princess Pleco, Bristlenose etc)
4 x YoYo Loach

How is this for stocking and compatability?

Would i be able to add 1 x Opaline Gouramis or 1 x Keyhole Cichlid?

Many Thanks

You might be able to squeeze in a keyhole cichlid if you have good filtration.

 

[Tropical_Decade]

I think i said earlier my filter is a fluval plus 400 (the new one).

Its not the best by any means but i do water changes a few times a week, at 25%-35% each time.

How would they fair compatability wise? Would the shark or Odessas Pester the YoYos? Would the Keyhole Bother anything?

Thanks

Anyone Else?

 

[The young one]

The keyholes wouldn't bother anything, i have never experienced sharks or odessas

 

[Tropical_Decade]

Okay thanks,

Ive had a pair of keyholes before and they were pretty placid. Would a single Keyhole be lonely as the only cichlid?

I was mainly concerned about the yoyo loaches getting bullied as ive never kept them before...

Thanks
