Featherfin and Clown pleco...

[pcam86]

Hi, over the last 2 days i've bought a Featherfin and today i got a Clown pleco. I work at a LFS but nobody really had any idea about them because they were fish that were either there quite a while ago or just fish that were sent to us for some unknown reason.

I've been reading up on both fish but just thought i'd ask for some advice on here too. Now i've got a 2 foot community tank and was thinking should i take the Featherfin back because i've heard they grow big?

Any other info on these fish would be great!

I recommend the clown pleco. I have 2 and I love them.

Yeah it just sucks that you hardly ever see them!

I see mine quite alot. I have plenty of bogwood for them to hide under. They don't tend to come out during the day though, I have to put my moonlights on to really watch them for any length of time, but I generally spot both of them at least twice a day when the daylight is on.
