How aggresive is he compared to your other plecos?

 

[JasonsPlecosCichlids]

No issues with him on the others, he just didnt like another adonis in there with him.

That is really cool to hear. The only Adonis I had experience with was at my work and it would attack the cichlids in the 220 gallon tank that it was in.

Mine is in a 265, no issues after I removed the other Adonis.

Howdy fellow Acanthicus keeper!

My Hystrix, first thing into the tank fresh from shipping, attacked the Red Devil. These things are totally satan and I love them!

The only pleco that picks a fight with anything is the Spiney Monster.

Spiney monster is actually a common name for a pseudacanthicus species, I think.

But this guy totally went at the RD, straight from out of my hand the moment I put him in after acclimating. Definitely a monster, definitely spiny.
