Hi all,
I am looking at a couple different plecos,
and was just wondering what you could tell me
about them, like size, feeding, tempermant,
if they are OK in the planted tank and heat requirements.

Queen Arabesque L260
Green Pleco L200
Flyer Pleco L235
Candy Stripe Pleco L015
Tiger Peckoltia (dont know Lnumber)

the tiger one only gets to about 3 inches and i have one that is in a very planted tank and its doing great provide some drift or bog wood for the diet and the queens only get about 6-7 inches and should do great have fun!

None of them are particularly fond of heavily planted tanks, but the ocassional valliserina is no issue. Pseudolithoxi and ancsitrinae are particularly aggressive towards one another. The others are still reasonably territorial and may inflict bodily damage upon each other should space be at a premium. Green phantoms prefer a bit more vegetation in their diet than the others. All stay smaller than 8", the flyer being the largest fish at 7.5", though often smaller.


EDIT: temperatures are all around 82-86F, and need high turnover. I would personally build up the h. inspector colony.

Thanks for the info Cup and all.
I am going to keep an eye out for another Inspector.
I was actually considering these pleco's for my 25g.

L-260, 50, and L2 are all appropriate for said tank. The tiger panaqolus would appreciate softwood.
