Suggestion to tank mates?

Post by Lihn »

Hi PlanetCatfish

I have a few pleco aquariums with only L-cats. I do not have any other fishes in the aquariums because I won't disturb the catfishes and their breeding behaviour.
But I would like to see a few other fishes in the aquarium - maybe a small tetra or rasbora. The fish must be so small that it cannot eat any of my pleco fry og disturb the fishes.
In the aquariums I have a very strong circulation, high temperature (28-29 degrees celcius) and very few plants.

Can you recommend a fish?
Regards
Jacob

Now I breed the following species: 12 Peckoltia compta - L134 and 10 Ancistrus L107/L184
I have earlier bred these plecos: L010a, Ancistrus sp., L183, L260, Hypancistrus contradens

Yes - I knew that I forgot something..

The tank are about 100-120 litres and there is a breeding group of Hypancistrus contradens 3.2 in the tank.
