Multi L075 tank

Post by Norbert »

Hello,
I currently have an L075 in a 6ft tank ~110gal or so...Seems very easy to care for, I've had "it" (don't know how to sex them) for a year or so and would like to add a few more...I know some plecs don't like other plecs but he gets along great with a Decorus Cat...what are your thoughs about keeping mutiple L075s together?

Thanks,
Paul

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 used to have 1, which I hardly saw. Then I picked up 3 more, and the result was much more relaxed fish, which were much more visible

The tank measured 130 * 50 * 50 cm

Yes, I'd say keep them in a group

I picked this one from a group as well and haven't seen them until a couple of weeks ago...hoping the size difference does not turn out to be an issue at this point...mine has grown alot in the last year.
