What Plec For My Tank

[Liquid skills]

Hi what type of fairly large plec would you suggest for my 3ft tank 130L ??? I currently have bns but they are a little small lol i was thinkin of a pinapple pleco i like how they look but what do you think??

Your BN pleco should be enough. I have one that is only 3 inches ling that takes care of my 55 gallon.

Zebra and gold nugget plecos are stunning, although you wont need to add any more plecos in your tank as plecs(most often males) are aggressive with each other and alot of hiding places will be needed so each plec would have its own 'cave' to hide in.

if you have more than one bn then that will be enough in such a small tank, have patience and watch them grow.

What makes you think you can fit a large pleco in a 130l tank?

What fish do you mean by 'Pineapple', P. genibarbis/L95? If so forget it, tank is too small.

I wouldn't want you to keep anything with an adult size of over 8 inches, based on that I would have B. demantoides.

However you are lazy, therefore stick with your BN's

have a look at the HUGE range of ancistrus. There are some really nice fish among them and around 4-6 inch, which if I were you I wouldn't go above.

do you want a pleco because of how they look or are you after them for algae? if it's the latter you'd be better of with a group of Oto's and/or snails

He already has some.

How many by the way?

 

[kevin82]

I've always kept oto's in groups of six until a recently when 4 of mine had a run in with some BN's. I'm on the look out for some more becuase my tank has gone downhill as a result of them missing

 

[xingumike]

I meant how many BN's does the OP have in his 3 footer already.

You said you were lazy in the thread were I bemoaned your awful spelling and grammar which seems to have gotten worse if possible.

If you want a large plec why not put it in the larger tank?

You still haven't said what fish you mean by Pineapple

[Liquid skills]

ok i will be getting a wiptail lol i like they way they look more then the pineapple plec

[xingumike]

Planet Catfish will also tell you that.

There is also a sticky right here that is specifically about plecos under 8 inches, have a read of that.

I assume it is accurate, I'll have a look tomorrow when I am not on my phone.
