What is the necessity of High flow for Bulldog Plecs?
Posted: 16 Jul 2019, 14:19
I have a 48”long 18”wide and 24” tall tank that I am soon to be stocking and the only fish I know I’m going to have so far is 4 Trachelyichthys Catfish and a black lancer. I would love to add a Chaetostoma Pleco however I know that black lancers prefer a gentle current and these guys come from high flow rivers. Do these guys need high flow or is it high oxygenation they need? Would I get away with an air pump and multiple air stone as well as surface agitation to increase oxygenation without massive flow? These are my favourite readily available Pleco and I would really like to keep one however I’d be reluctant if it wouldn’t be happy. Thanks.
