Hi Guys,

I am thinking about the above but can't find any behavioral info on them. I currently have Clown Plecs in another tank and athough I love them they are very shy and days pass without seeing them at all. I love the look of Zebra Plec's but there is no way I'll pay the prices being asked and this is a similar looking fish.

Can anyone shed some light on whether they are shy or outgoing and just generaly what they are like to keep.

Many thanks

Ben
 
most plecs are typically shy and nocternal.

The king tigers are a nice small plec - the males can be quite teritorial though :)
 
Assuming you are talking about L66 king tiger plecs I can help ypu. Males can be a bit shy. I find mine spend most of the day in their caves and only come out to eat, they often venture out after lights out. My female on the other hand is always out and about . My dominant males can be agressive towards most things in the tank but only really at feeding time. Hope this helps. Feel free to PM me or stick other questions on here.

Thats a difficult one. I am a fan of groups, but then I am trying to breed the king tigers. If you have no experience sexing plecs it may be difficult to get a male and a female. I love my king tikers and think they are stunning. There are 2 more waiting at my LFS to increase the size of my group. I suppose at the end of the day its down to personal preference. King tigers like a meaty but varied diet and when they are new they do not fight well for food so for that reason I would say 2 king tigers as the bulldog may steal their food. I have a few king tiger pictures that will let you see what they look like when fully grown as young ones look a but different from adults.

sounds like it is a better idea for us to try to get a male and female king tiger , as i wouldnt want one to have to fight for food bless.

can we see some piccies ian ?
