Re: Keeping mixed size plecos together

Thank you for the opinions everyone.

Re: Multi L075 tank

I'm sure others with more experience will chime in, but when I first considered getting an L075, I was told to consider getting multiple, as they are pretty easy going. Stupidly, I only got one and now have not been able to get another. I would say go for it.
I picked this one from a group as well ...

Re: Megalancistrus parananus

All I can say is I saw a big one of these in a shop over here and it was one of the coolest fish I have ever seen.

I agree, very cool...and spiny :D

They like Tetra bottom feeder tablets, bloodworm, algae tablets (although they don't clean the algae off the glass like a gibby would) etc ...

Megalancistrus parananus

First, I've heard mixed opinions about this fishes aggression, some say very, some say not at all, what say you?

Second, Diet, again mixed opinions from herb to omniv to carniv, any ...
