Thanks jools
What about using formalin?
I dont have a big hospital tank, only 40 liter...

Once again thank for the useful answers
I do not use an heater os summer days, so its not the cause...
It seems is infecting slowly other pleco'es

Hi bro's
Thank you all for replay
1st thing i want to say that i never had 50 pleco in one tank
I had 36 (10 more were in my other tank) and since the "known post" i took out almost all of the demasoni( only ten left) and i sold about 12 pleco including the real big one's

Now, sadly i have some ...

Soon i'll give more detail's about the tank
Thank you all for helping

Wait about two weeks bro
I order one ( and a few other nice pleco's)
I will upload some pic of him after he will be in my tank

To Eyal8a,

I've read this thread and i'm not gonna tell you what to do or not.

But I feel necessary to warn you for people like jac, rob rensen, dutchfry, phyllonemus.
We have the same problem with them in The Netherlands. They are just a little group trouble makers on diff fora. All they do is ...

Hi matthewfaulkner
I check the water parameters twice a week
I check:
PH
Nh3
No2
No3

All the parameters are O.K

Everywhere there are people who overstock their tanks...also in the Netherlands. Those people keep fish as a collection; as many species in one tank....no matter what kind of water they need, food etc....they just don't care and will never learn.

When you wanna keep different fish at least make ...

The pictures are showing Malawian and Pleco's together, to put that kid of pictures on a forum, your asking for critical reactions, exept from Americans. They combine everything together and they like it very much also, that's wy the only positive reactions to your setups are coming from Americans ...

You can certainly take a very good photo.
But that is a lot of fish in one tank. U must do some serious maintenance to keep that stable.
thanks bro' :-BD
about the maintenance..
i have two massive filters
1.eheim Professional 3 series 2080 (1750LH) filled with only biological media
2.Rena xp4 ...

hi, I am just wondering if you plan to add caves to your tanks ? I use granite caves and have some long pieces of slate propped up stable so they can hang out as they would in their natural environment, and I have 2 exra caves than plecs.

I am not gonna get into the other stuff. Just wondered if ...

By the way the toxic icon is by accident... I thought it was a film icon

eyal8a,

I note your use of a toxic icon to denote their first post. However, I will give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you didn't mean to start a fight. Can I remind everyone that the forum is moderated and we will not tolerate personal attacks or any other transgression of the rules ...

Malawians combined with pleco's is the same shit.
You shouldn't combine them for the same reasons mentioned before

It's simply not true. Back when I was keeping and breeding Malawi cichlids, I had a group of wild caught Ancistrus that wouldn't breed in a tank of their own; but, when I added a ...

Is cursing the only thing you are capable of ?
Looks that way.

If You think you are housing Tropheus the right, keep on dreaming.
They shouldn't be kept in a tank with almost no ...

Tropheus combined with Pleco's is completely INSANE

Tropheus need hard alkaline water plecs nee a low PH and a lo KH.
Tropheus are very sensitive to Bloat when giving them protein rich foods that the Pleco's need.

To me you are completely irresponsible to your animals, and completely nuts.

It ...

Thank you mate
The pleco in photo 6 is my giant L014 ( 24cn) aka sunshine pleco
He is the king of my tank...

One of the issue's of fishkeeping is enjoying the natural behaviour....in a overstocked tank there's no room for natural behaviour. In my opinion you're nothing more then a stamp collector.

People have many reasons for keeping fish, some enjoy the narutal behaviours, others like the pretty ...

I know how good my fish live..

one more thing
for next time,Instead of attacking from the beginning, you can try to advice things to the person on the other ...

high on cash...low on common sense
