Re: Spotted/Striped Raphael Questions!
I do worry because I worried about them eating, I try to drop in a decent amount at night before I go to bed but the spotted I really never see. They are both pretty fat however so they must be eating SOMETHING

Spotted Raphael Barely seen?
So I have 2 raphael's in my 55 gallon. One spotted/One striped. temp is at 76-77f and water params are good.

Re: Multiple Plecos in a tank?
I keep both tanks at around 76-77. Should be fine for both I would think?

Thanks. I did notice my spotted raphael is really......fat? (He came from the store that way). He's pooping and acting normal but I did read that obesity is a problem with them?
Any other good tankmate suggestions? I figure a pleco or two might be fine as long as I have hiding spots.

Re: Spotted/Striped Raphael Questions!
Thanks. I was wondering if it would be possible to fit 2 in a 55g (A spotted and a striped) provided there are plenty of hiding places. I did notice they had slightly different temp ranges (68-78 and then 73-86) so i figure 76 is a good "In the middle"? I have multiple hiding areas for the...
