Beautiful fish!

Schwartzis have become my favorite. Mine seem to be a lot more active than the other corys in my tank.

I am wanting to set up a dedicated tank for Discus or assorted cichlids and would like to get some feedback on which route to go. Any recommendations on size tank, favorite species, do’s & don’ts would be appreciated!

It seems that the smaller plecos sell better in the fish stores because they are cheaper and less intimidating for somebody’s 20 gal. tank. But people with 100+ gallon tanks and outdoor koi ponds don’t want a 2-3” pleco, so there’s an occasional demand for bigger ones.

Thanks! After I taught it to quit unplanting the plants, it has been fun to watch!!

It was probably other issues than the substrate. As long as the gravel is smooth, it shouldn’t be a problem.

I know they recommend sand for corys, but I’ve always had gravel and they seem to be happy... I haven’t heard any complaints yet!?

My friend that has the fish store has a demand for larger plecos, so I offered to help him out. Eventually I will probably get a bristlenose or clown that won’t get so big.

It’s a common pleco that’s about 6 inches long. Almost has outgrown its welcome and will go back to the fish store to trade for a smaller one.

I currently have angels, dwarf gouramis, Buenos Aires Tetras, zebra danios, rummy nose, corys, New Guinea Rainbow and pleco.

They are beautiful, laid back fish. I would recommend getting 4-6 as they do much better in small schools. They also like to have some vegetation to hide out occasionally. I have always loved having gouramis in my community tank.

I have had aquariums on and off for the past 50 years, from 30 to 100 gal. Currently I have a 75 gal. Freshwater tank. I owned an advertising & marketing firm but since I retired a few years ago, I have studied all the things I wish I had taken the time to learn about fishkeeping. I look forward...
