Golden nugget

Post by Nightflyer »

Hi everyone first post here although I have read this forum for a long time.

I am rehoming a golden nugget for a friend as it was not doing to well in his tank. Not getting enough food by l the looks of it. Could do with some help in which golden nugget it is (I know there is a few types.
It is currently in my large community tank but would like to know if it would be ok in a 120litre that is home to a pair of pepermint bristlenose.

Anyway here is a pic, hope someone can ID him or her. Image

Thanks guys, done some reading about this pleco now. Think he will be better off left in my community tank as he (why do I keep saying he?) will grow quite large and not be best mate for my pepermint bristlenose
