I know that sooner or later this pleco is going to have to go somewhere...From what I've heard L-203 panaques grow to good sizes. My question to everybody is that I have a standard footprint 55 gallon with 3 danio's, a clown pleco (1.75''), an un-sexed green sev (2.75''-3'' TL) and a Male Gold Saum 4.50''-5''). The GT, for around three weeks, chased the Sev around relentlessly so I purchased the danios as targets. Now he does some minor chasing but it's only a slight fraction as to what it was in the past. The sev has changed to a dark almost char coal color and only lightens up during some feedings. Should I be relocating the sev? He actually spends more time chasing the danio's then the GT, eats everything I stick in there (frozen and pellets) and shows no other signs of stress. If he can stay put for the time being...how long will he be able to?
 
I think a few more targets/dithers might help a little more. Keep an eye on the severum, make sure he's not getting too stressed.
