Peckoltia sp red tiger query

[MattP]

Hi all, I recently purchased some gorgeous peckoltia sp red tiger from the fantastic rare aquatics. They keep their fishes at 29 degrees C but my tank is at 25 degrees C. I increased the temp to 27 degrees C in my tank before introducing the fish as I didn't want to shock them too much. They seem fine at the moment but as these are an undescribed species and I can't find any information on the net, I wondered if anyone on PC has got any of these and if you could share the temp you are keeping them at please?

Cheers Matt

Regarding temperature, they are a lowland Amazon species from large rivers, so about 27-29C is about right.

Thanks for that, I will maintain them at 28 C which is the current tank temperature. Wow they are very messy regarding the amount of poo they produce! Can't even imagine how much the larger plecs produce!!

Cheers Matt
