What are your nitrates there boss?

What do you want a plec for, to clear algae or just cus you like them? Your answer will lead to a clear prescription...

Great...

There are fish calculators available www.thinkfish.co.uk

As for plecos, lots of choice for Plecos that do not get big... Here are a few
Clown Pleco
Bristlenose Pleco
L260 Queen Arabesque

Google them for pix, the QA is the nicest IMHO

I'd get a couple more buenos aires tetras too, they're a shoaling fish, then rehome the CAE (not a good community fish as they turn very aggressive as they grow, and will get too big for your tank at 10" anyway).

i agree about the cae he is starting to pick on my other fish i'll have to see if any aquatic shop will take him i got the buenos aires tetra with my tank about 6 months ago he is quite big and sometimes a bit of a bully so thought i would wait until he passed on as really not to keen on having anymore buenos aires thanks for the replys

any shop should take your CAE,but whether you get anything for it is another thing.i buy nearly all my fish from one place so when i want to change any fish,i always get 50% of what i paid for it which i think is pretty good
