Just looking at the L024 on this website it says tank water temperature of 23-27C (73-80F). It's a sad day that I lost my L24 juvi. 1. Water parameters Temperature range. 28 C pH. 6-6.2 Ammonia, Nitrate, Nitrite, levels. 0 Water change frequency 1-2 times per week 30% Maybe at 28C is too warm ? Jus...

Will try to make it. It would be nice to meet with more hobbyists experienced in plecos and discus.

Not really, it's more about DO. Given high DO, they can take higher temp - but what we tend to show here is a general range. Jools I read some more online and I am more convinced that the amount of boiling water I added might cause the problem. I did another water change today with aged RO water. T...

When I used RO (I stopped, too much hassle/expense) I used to aerate it before adding - that was it. Also, maybe something in your kettle? On the cold water front, I live in Scotland, not Canada cold but certainly not warm. Why not try measuring the temp of teh water before you add it and then you ...

Probably something in the water change given it wasn't starvation or bullying. Unless the receiving tanks are absolutely identical (volume, temp, water conditions, stocking levels) and so on then you can't really draw parallels that one was OK and the other wasn't. Unless it drops the temp a lot mo...

What size was the L24? - juvi can be quite a broad description in this large species. Could be it was weakened from the move to your tank. If up at surface then it's usually something respiratory (it'll be breathing hard) or otherwise close to death due to starvation, bullying, a whole host of reas...

It's a sad day that I lost my L24 juvi. Just got him last Friday and he had been behaving/hiding and eating normally until yesterday after a water change. I did lose a few other plecos in the same tank a while ago, 2 L11s (thought they were attacked by the royal acaras I had in the same tank back th...
