220g pleco tank :)

[datboyhieu]

Soo I got bored and wanted to make a tank for my store and I ended up with a 220g and so far I have
2 L114 in there
Indo Tiger
And I’m not sure which pleco this is but my friend said it’s a rustic blue eye?

im also on the hunt for a titanic and a typhoon... I’m very new starting a pleco tank as I usually only kept one but I’m doing something different
would I need more caves? Or hiding spots?

Any helpful advice will deff help

Nice tank. Some sand would make that driftwood and scape overall better. A 0.5-1inch layer would be good. I assume easier for cleaning that’s why no substrate.

i have thought bout it but tbh i mightttt do that one the side the powerhead isnt blowing bc i am actually on the hunt for a FRT lol but yea the no substrate was to be a way easier way of cleaning for me

Your blue eye pleco appears to be an L137. I love that big L114.

I agree it is an L137. Red fin blue eye is another common name for them. They get a blotchy pattern and rusty red fins with grey to blue eyes. Here are a couple photos of one I had for reference. As you can see, color changes a bit.

Regarding your other question; your current scape is fine but if you're going to be adding more pseudas, and likely getting addicted, you'll definitely want more wood with places for them to hide as well as come caves. The L114 seem to be one of the more aggressive species so it's good for everyone to have a territory and somewhere to escape if getting beat up.

It looks like Jason's Plecos & Cichlids still has a couple of Typhoon in stock.
