Can I get a couple opins. on a pleco
- Thread starter West1
- Start date
What kind of decor/hiding spots are there in the tank for the pleco? How aggressive is the green terror so far towards tank mates?
Right now there is only gravel and no fish. I plan to put 1 pc of driftwood with java moss and an anubia growing on it.
The GT comes in on Monday.
I just bought the tank and Im going to use 30gls of water from my 150's water change to get the tank going like if it is a 50% water change.
The pleco is not going in until about 2-3 months or if I get something that I cant pass up, then he will go in the 150 for a little while.

A big Bristlenose would be OK, but I would look for a Goldspot L001. They get a bit bigger, 12" max, but should still be OK in that size tank. They dont grow as big as the comon or gibby plecos.
They have a bit more 'attitude' and can take care of themselves with all but the most agressive tankmates.

Wont really help much.
You need some cycled filter media in there. Swap a bit of the media from your established filter with the new filter.
Do this when you add the first fish and it will help jumpstart the new tank/filter's cycle.

Unless that media has a source of ammonia that is constant, it will be dead in less than 48 hours.
West1;1274023; said:The media is already broken in. The tank was used and had the media with a flowerhorn. So the media already has its bacteria. Thanks for the heads
Sweet... just making sure
Well my bigger goldspot is 3 years old and only about 8" long, it might reach 12" eventually. Or it might only reach 10"
I'm assuming its a big 3' tank. It's going to take quite a while to outgrow it.
