Re: Mixing Different sized Pseuda pleco

This one is hard to say, honestly. They can be quite obnoxious with newcomers. I would probably put him in a separate tank if you have one up and established already, just to ensure that shipping stress didn't keep him from thriving.

Re: L24 in bare bottom tank?

thanks. I'll add a driftwood for him to hide under.
this tank i am transferring him to is a stingray tank, with only a small stingray.
