Hi there, sorry I've been so busy I didn't have much time to drop by.
My bf wanted a pleco so badly, so I bought one. The guy at my LPS sold me a "common pleco" for 8 bucks. He's a little bit less than 3 inches long.
He currently lives in my new 55 gallons with 8 corys and 5 kuhlis. I read that sometimes pleco attach themselves to other fishes, will he hurt my corys or kuhlis? Also, how large will he gets? I read 2 feet long, but I also heard he won't grow full size if the tank size doesn't permit it.
I would like a pleco but I don't want to trouble the peace of my friends in there. Should I get 1 bristlenose or a bushynose instead?
I would eventually love to add a pearl gourami in there with a bunch of neon tetras. To populate the top and mid of the tank.
Also, my corys and kuhlis were in a smaller tank where other inhabitants bullied them. Kuhlis are fine but the corys lost their colors. My peppered corydoras doesn't have much black spot now but they seem quite happier. How can I help them regain full health?
