jasonpisani  *Ultimate Fish Guru* Posts: 5553 Kudos: 7215 Votes: 1024 Registered: 24-Feb-2003  | What type of Pleco are you buying?. Don't buy common ones, as they get quite big & produce alot of waste. If you want a good Algae Eater, you can get a Bristlenose & they don't grow much. Are you going with the normal Tiger Barbs, or the Green ones?. http://uk.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/s8xi5heh/my_photos http://www.geocities.com/s8xi5heh/classic_blue.html http://groups.yahoo.com/group/buzaqq/ http://www.deathbydyeing.org/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/corydoras/ Member of the Malta Aquarist Society - 1970. http://www.maltaaquarist.com |
