It was a joke, geez, lighten up. And if you didn't already know, a chaca chaca is a species of catfish.

If you want an all pleco tank, a 28 gal is not for you. How does a single chaca chaca sound? )))

jk.

Anyways, I'd go with BNs, glassies (no one likes them ;_, and UDs. Any more, and I think you'd be overstocked. Plus, you couldn't find a better mid-strata swimming catfish than a ghost.

Sorry CFD i didnt see that question in your previous post.
Hmm i dont think there is any differenve apart from the 1 gallon difference. Thats all i can think of.

anyway did you like any of the catfish in my prevoius posts


I liked the second one. upside down catfish but i dont think they are very common round here.

yep there will be lots of hiding places for them. (if i do change my tank to a pleco tank)

so is a 28gallon the same as a 29gallon

Maybe eh? anyway did you like any of the catfish in my prevoius posts? if its going to be an all pl*co tank, you'll have to have quite a few caves because well, pl*cos like to hide
so here the stocking list so far its a start
1 BN
1 or 2 butterfly pl*cos

cfd

I have been recently been thinking of changing my 28gallon community tank to a catfish only tank. (i wont go into why i might be changing my tank)

The tank wont be planted. it will have gravel bottom with 1 or 2 pieces of driftwood and potts and maybe some rocks.

I all ready own a bristlenose.
I was thinking of getting another BN and breeding them.


Does anyone have any other ideas? (all ideas must have 1 BN included)

I say again this is only an idea, subject to how things go in a couple of weeks from now.

heres a link to a site which has those butterfly plecos from my other post.

http://www.jjphoto.dk/fish_archive/aquarium/zonancistrus_pulcher.htm

Anyway, are you against all Callichthyids? Or just corys?


No i just prefer plecos to small cory type fish kinda

Cory addict those look very nice but big at 6inch schooling fish.

You broke Planet Catfish...







Anyway, are you against all Callichthyids? Or just corys? If it's just the corys that you don't like, Flagtail Hoplos (Dianema urostriatum) are quite amazing. They grow to 6" long and are a schooling fish, and quite active and outgoing.

Aiite.

2 b/n
18 skunk/panda/whatever kind of smaller cory you want
6 ottos

sounds GREAT!


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.
