tkchill02 Hobbyist Posts: 83 Kudos: 52 Votes: 0 Registered: 13-Aug-2004	My LFS has Gold Nugget Plecos for $7.00! I thought that was a great price & wanted to know if anyone has any experience with adding them with other types of plecos? I have a rubbermouth pleco & a regular pleco which so far a fine together in my 72 gal. Thanks for your input! Last edited by tkchill02 at 15-Jan-2005 13:15
