Another day and the plecs are still looking good.. will see how it goes but I think they might be alright after all.. thanks for the help.

Still gotta clean the gravel out etc but so far so good.

I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but an 80cm tank isn't going to suit one, never mind two, common plecs in the long run. Each one will need at least a 5ft x 18" x 18" tank.

Hi, I knew that when I bought them, when they start getting a bit too big for the tank I'm upgrading.. for now the 3ft tank is fine for them but I do plan to go bigger when neccessary I love plecs a lot more than other fish so want to be able to have them so if it means a big tank then so be it

Sounds good I just heard alarm bells ringing when you said one was "huge". Glad to hear you have things planned out, good luck!
