Hi,
I found 4 very beautiful L128 in my lfs today. I put them on hold for 24 hours so that i could decide how many to buy. But i want to ask for everyone's advice and experience with them before i do.
Are they overall territorial or they will do well with 3 Lasiancistrus sp,3 Scobinancistrus sp 6" , two sturisomas panamense,8 bronze corydoras and 4 parotocinclus maculicauda in a 100-43-56cm tank?

Thanks in advance.

I think they would all do ok in the tank.. Basically four is good, bec. they look great when there in numbers

Kostas,
What size are they? Mine have started getting pretty aggressive and the dominant male beats the other four all the time. Actually, I am thinking about getting rid of them because of this. They do not seem to become very aggressive until they reach about 8 inches. Not sure that the Sturisoma or Parotocinclus would compete with them as L-128 are big heavy fishes and do not like to share.

Hi,
They are all 6" and they chase each other all the time without doing any damage.They are at the LFS in a tank with 20 very small corydoras melanotaenia and they get on fine.They are really very powerfull creatures.When i was looking at one of them, he swam fastly and suck and threw one clay made flowerpot. Fortunatly the glass did not broke.
Thanks for the help.

Hi,

Thank you all for the help.
