Is my tank big enough?

King tiger plec (L-066)

Only gets to around 5" and they look great.
The pictures on planet catfish dont do the beauty of this fish any justice.
Stunning fish.

If your looking at king tigers - have a look for Imperial king tigers too (L333)

10cm ?? do you mean inches??

Our 75 is already about 5" - 12.5cm

[snapback]869793[/snapback]​

Nope, 10cm/4" for the L163!

You're right in saying L075 get to 20cm/8".

Right, so to simplify it for me, what would roughly be the maximum adult size of a plec for the tank? That way I can do a Google and find a list of plecs under that size. Or, do it manually. Both ways suit me, I'm bored.

L number list

Have look through these. Personally id go for 5-6" max.

Hope this helps with your bordom

 

[OohFeeshy]

I'll go for a max of 5 inches, 4 inches probably is best. I'll print out a list of suitable plecs and take it with me on a tour of a few shops. Well, watch this space

 

[Dangerousdan]

Great idea, keep us all posted.

I've got to L081, found a fair few although its annoying because a lot of L numbers are the same fish... When I'm done, I'll possibly post it up as a guide for plecos for smaller tanks.
