Catfish for the monster tank

[Terrorblade90]

Hello, I'm already keep with my Arowana (a jardini) and polies a 8" Papa Panaque (Panaque sp. L90), but I want keep an other big pleco species. I like very much the Sunshine pleco (Scobinancistrus aureatus) and the Leopard cactus pleco (Pseudacanthicus leopardus).So, what is the best for my tank?

how big is your tank?

 

[Terrorblade90]

120x60x80h cms.; 576 litres/150 gal.

hmm sounds like you have to upgrade soon to a bigger tank for your jardini...if you want other plecos id reccommend other panaques such as l190,l191,l027,l203,l330....coz here the same family and there wouldnt be much fighting.

The jardini shuldn't be a problem-15-20' are OK. yes, I thinked to take other panaque, but they eat too and I want something to different.

A 150 is a little small for a jar and much else. Jardini cannot turn as easily as their SA cousins. Another problem, when the jar gets bigger, he will likely kill your other fish. The bio-load will be your other problem. A jar and a big pleco will equal a huge bio-load.

I don't want know if my tank is too small or not for an arowana, I would only know what the best pleco is!

get a panaque cochliodon

 

[Terrorblade90]

Ok, I cannot keep ABSOLUTELY a sunshine pleco?

 

[Johny]

i wouldnt do it...sunshines are art of the scobiancistrunus family (ma bad on spelling) and your papa is from he panaque family....they would both compete for territory and food. If you want another pleco get one thats form the panaque family.
