[Thedaniokeeper]

So many of these....

I want the plec to stay in this tank for life, so small bioloads pls

Otto shoal?
Red tail labeo?
Keyhole cichlid pair?
Yoyo loaches?

I don't have a clue what you mean sorry.

I don't have a clue what you mean sorry.

Think he wants suggestions for his 55 in addition to whats already in the tank.

 

[Thedaniokeeper]

Yersh , I want to see some new stock possibility...

Ottocinclus would be nice, but I wouldnt trus the Pleco with them.

 

[Thedaniokeeper]

Why not? He smacked up a danio, but the danio bit his eye.
I would be more worried that the otos will beat on the plec.

Gibbiceps, very similar to Commons, have been reported to eat small fish and Shrimp. someone on aquaria central had a Gibbiceps eat a Bamboo Shrimp yesterday...and Bamboo Shrimp are NOT small

 

[Bottomfeeder]

btw you said "Pleco" and not "Pl*co" this time

A common pleco won't stay for life in a 55G tank. They can get well over 15".

 

[Cichlaholics Anonymous]

you could a few of those suggestions in the tank if you move the pleco to a bigger more appropriate tank
