If the pleco is a common pleco it also has to go. They get HUGE. After you do that I would just get a dwarf gourami for a centerpiece. You would be pretty much stocked by then. They shade the glow of it with their mossy-misty costumes, They wear masks of silk, porcelain, brass, and silver, So as not to mislead with their own, ordinary faces.

My tank is 3' long by 19" high so I would of thought they have pleanty of room for the moment. I should be getting a much bigger tank very soon and if I havn't then I already have 2 possible homes for them. So my next question is how quick do angels grow?

amilner Big Fish Posts: 429 Kudos: 654 Votes: 0 Registered: 05-Jul-2004	Angels grow at a high rate. I've known mine to double their size in a matter of months and they will begin to terrorise the others in the tank (excluding the plec of course). In short - they'll outgrow your tank VERY quickly. Word of warning also - plecs love to 'graze' on 'flat bodied fish' during the night so I'd be considering moving the angels sooner rather than later. I have to agree that the plec has to be rehoused too if you wish to maintain a healthy aquarium and especially if you value a healthy plec.

Alfie Hobbyist Posts: 79 Kudos: 264 Votes: 1 Registered: 31-May-2004	Ok so i have taken the angels back to the lfs as the started to get very teritorial with each other. I have swopped them for 2 sky blue dwarf gouramis. Just wondering do you think i could get away with a couple of kuhli loach's ?
