Sharing my 75g pleco-cory tank

[bekateen]

Hi All,

This video is really about my corys (

Corydoras aeneus

and

Corydoras rabauti

), but near the end (~3:16 time mark) you can see a few of my plecos, including my

Panaqolus albomaculatus

, and the

Peckoltia compta

and

L397

which I picked up in England last July thanks to several of you folks. Okay, really you don't see much of the plecos, you see their butts. LOL

Cheers, Eric

Hey Eric,

Nice setup. True, you could have put some background music in there

Tank is very tidy
I like the floating wood, unfortunately I usually end up with blue algae on it when I do that, because it's too close to the light source then.

Do all the albomaculatus cave?

Thank you, Johannes.

I have another tank (10 gallon) with floating wood, and the upper surface is covered with algae and pieces of duckweed that splash onto it, but its underside is clean because of less light and because my guahiborum chew on it.

The floating piece in this 75 gal is slightly submerged along most its length, so the L397 keep it stripped clean of algae.

About the albomaculatus, the big male caves almost always, the big female rarely caves (she hides between the rocks), and the two smaller fish cave sometimes.

Cheers, Eric
