Where Can I Find Pitbull Pleco's?

[hanny93]

Hey everyone!

After much deliberation I've decided i want a pair of pitbull plecs as part of my freshwater CUC

BUT, I cant find them anywhere and its really annoying!
Has anyone seen any for sale anywhere, whether its in lfs or online?


Oh and will they be suitable for my current setup:
64L FW tropical setup, temp at around 23/24C (this should be a bit higher once i get a new filter and heater) soon to be filtered with an eheim 2213!
Current inhabitants:
12 harlequin rasboras
2 (soon to be 4 or maybe 6) dwarf neon rainbows

They like to be in groups and try your local pets at home. Mine were £9 for 2. Very nice little plecs. They colour according to substrate and surroundings.

You'll want at least 4 of these, they're social schooling fish and will do best in groups.

Ohright, will my tank be able to handle 4?


I read online that just 2 was okay but obviously need the forums advice!

Hi ,i`ve got 2 pitbull plecos,in my 110 l,along with 10 glowlight tetra .,8 corries ,and 2 amano shrimp ,i also bought mine from pets at home
2 for £9,was told that they do better in fours ,but remember someone on thread said something about them being too terrotorial if there were too many.

Also ,my temp is at 24 degrees,but think that plecs need it cooler ,perhaps someone could verify?
