Adding L102(Snowball?) To This Tank?

[james_fish]

I have an L102(snowball?) Pleco in a 15gallon tank. Im on about selling this tank and it's inhabitants which consists of a male fighter, some small Characins and a few shrimp aswell as the pleco. Thing is, I am going to keep the Snowy as I've had it about 8 months now and I really like it.

Would it be okay to go in my 55gal tank? It is planted, includes three pieces of bogwwod, has a sand bottom and some other cover in the form of one of those coconut shell things.

The snowball is only about 2inch, so still small. This is the stock of the tank proposed for it's new home.

Pair of Keyhole's.
Pair of Apistogramma Cacatuoides.
8 Buenos Aires Tetra's.
8 Cardinal Tetra's
L202 pleco (Peckoltia lineola) - No common name for this fish. My worry is how will it react as i've never kept two pleco's in one tank before. This fish is about 3-4 inches.
A single Gold Stripe Corydoras, been unfortunate with the other's and lost them over the last few weeks.

Cheers, James.

Both species can be a territorial but in your tank which is well planted, has lots of bogwood...they should be fine. How is your L202 doing?

Fantastic. Not shy and comes out to feed during the daylight hours.

Snowball is complete opposite. It's doing well and feeds well at night, but during the day I have not seen it once during the 8 months i've had it!

According to Planet Catfish, the L202 is territorial but the L102 isn't. But seeing as you have a large tank, there should be no problem.

 

[james_fish]

Yeah, there's plenty of room to get away from it all aswell. I might add some more bogwood soon aswell.

Like I said, might give it a go tomorrow

Conditions and feeding needed for both are pretty similar and as with any plec, given they have a space to call there own and plenty of places to hide in that size tank they should be completely fine together .
