First "Real" Pleco

[pwmin]

I've always wanted a "vampire" pleco and after some researching, I concluded that L240 was my favorite. We did a group order to Rapps, so i got one. I might go get an L018 gold nugget at an LFS tomorrow. It's about 5" or so and in a 300 wide w/ a 7" and 8" Cichla orinocensis, 5.5" male ex'Cichlasoma' festae, 6" Cichla pinima and 7" flag tail aka prochilodus. Should be enough room for two plec even w/ the territoriality of the gold nugget, eh?

ooohh, me likey! nice pickup!

and yeah the GN should go fine with it. just make sure the GN's belly isnt sunken in when you buy it. they need to almost constantly eat, so try to get the lfs to feed it a bit more, then pick it up when its belly looks normal.
