Sub-Tropical Plecs?

[josh_g]

Hi, im looking for a sub-tropical pleco to go in my channa pulchra tank. Anyone know of any nice L numbers? The tank is 30gal. Thanks

Chaetostoma probably.

What temperature range?

 

[josh_g]

hey the temp sits around 19-21 degrees c. Ordepends on the weather really. Will get colder in the winter though.

 

[xingumike]

19-21 is ok for them, colder not.

Can you get a heater and set it at 20?

 

[josh_g]

yeah I have plenty of heaters lying around, il stick one in there in the winter no need for one now as it doesn't really drop below 20. The bulldog plecs do look nice. Il have to do a bit of research on them before I go out and try to find 1. Cheers for the advice.

30 gal seems a bit on the small side for the channas. My channa bleheri are in my 260 litre (which I think is around 50 gal)

yeah it is a grow out tank there only babies, I have some baby channa sp. whitefin in another 20gal grow out tank
