The plecs you currently have will go fine with brunos, orange seams and king tigers. The L114s should also be fine.

the only one I was worried about was the l-114. I have heard horror stories. Thanks Wlyd, I figured you would reply first, so I was debating on creating a thread or pm you. But anyways thanks for the info. Its off to the lfs to get some of plecos and go broke at the same time:headbang2

Hope everything goes well.
My solution to the problem of going broke is to have store credit!
all of them will be fine, including the peppermint

I am so mad. The fish they had came in with the wrong L-Numbers. The store also does not know how to size a fish so the 4" fish was an 1". Pretty crappy. The Leopard that she said was a L-114 was actual a L-49, The orangeseams look horrible, the bruno were ok but nothing special, snowballs were pale black with yellow spots, gold nuggets were great looking, but I have not had much success with them in the past. :swear: :swear: :swear:
So I bought nothing and walked away with my head down in shame

THAT SUCKS! I like the brunos still, something about the shape and coloration just makes them worth wild. That and they are cheap. In my experience orangeseams look bad even in the best pet stores, but when you get them in a big tank, even a 55, they color right up. The first one I had came from a great LFS, and was a very pale yellow seam, after a couple days in my 135 his fins were nearly red.
depends what you feed em, a good bit of protein sorts them out. sorry bout the dissappointment though. i found a bruno today in with a load of chocolates. i didnt bother with it though, not the biggest fan

His color has become more intense since he was moved to the 135.
