PC never lets me down. Thank you both very much for your replies!

Hi all,

I have a 55-gallon tank that's been running for a few months now. It's moderately well planted and is home to 25 C. trilineatus . There are no other fish in the tank for the time being; the cories are entertaining enough. I was thinking about adding some Amano shrimp, though. Would these ...

Hi all,

Sorry to revive an old thread, but I wanted to post and thank everyone for all their helpful replies, especially the advice to keep my Chaetostoma. He has thrived in my 30G tank and has become my favorite fish. Here's a picture of him enjoying his rock in the tank.

Hi all,

Thanks again for your great advice so far. By adjusting current and fan position I've managed to squeeze out another degree or so of cooling. Soon, I plan to put my RN into the 30G tank. But there is one problem. I don't think he's eating.

Thanks for your reply, Amanda! One quick question:

Does this mean I shouldn't get another RN for the tank? Or that I should take along the photo to make sure I don't get the same species?

Thanks very much for the reply, Janne! Not what I was expecting to hear at all, but I'm happy to hear it. So two RNs will get along OK in the 30G? This is my first pleco, so I wasn't sure how different species tolerate company. I'd love to get another one. I've grown very fond of this fish.

Hi all,

I've gotten myself into a tough situation with a new Chaetostoma, and I was wondering if you all could offer some advice. About a month ago, I picked up a rubbernose at a local LFS. I thought I had done my research -- sites around the web and an article in PFK said that a rubbernose would ...
