Would They Be Compatiable?

[death]

hi there we are thinking of moving and reducing 2 tanks to 1 ie buy a larger tank and sell the 2 smaller ones my question is this would my sailfin plec be compatiable with my bristle nose plec? even though the sailfin is nearly 4 times the size of the bn plec or would i have to get rid of one plec thanks in advance joe

You shouldn't need to get rid of one of the plecs as long as you get enough gallons for the sailfin and you feed them at opposite ends of the tank and decorate the tank carefully, breaking up any long open expanses with tank decor .

At least 125gallons for sailfin (tank must be at the minimum 5ft long, 2ft wide, 2ft high) .

Glad to help, its important to provide the sailfin with enough space as they have been known to grow to 2ft long.
