IS THIS A GOOD STOCK LIST??

[turtlesrock]

i have a 100 gallon tank 72''x18''x18'' and would like to have this stock. the star above the fish (*) means that i already own them.

* bluegill x2
* perch x1
oscar x1
adonis catfish x1 or pleco x1

​

i also have two turtles in it but they are small. the water is 3'' from the top so i have about 95 gallons in it. so i have the full

 

[TTTT]

do you have a basking area for the turtles and stuff like that?

 

[turtlesrock]

yes

 

[turtlesrock]

the turtles have evrything they need, like basking area, UVB, UVA, and all the other turtle stuff

adonis pleco needs at least a 6foot x 3foot footprint. they get 3' long and are very aggressive.

adonis pleco needs at least a 6foot x 3foot footprint. they get 3' long and are very aggressive.

NO!! they get nowhere near 3 feet. they get up to 15'' atcthe max. and they are not that agressive, they are realitivly tolerent of tankmates equally robust.

i dont know if you read the thread wrong but i said i wanted to get an Adonis CATFISH not an adonis PLECO. if theres a difference.

 

[livebearerfreak]

there both the same thing and they get up to 2.5 to 3 feet

i just reasearched the two types of ADONISES and they are the different species. Adonis Catfish get to 16'' at the max, usually around 13-14'' like i said. Adonis Plecos get to around 39'' like you said. im sorry if i sounded rude in the earlier post, you did know what you were talking about. heres a few sites about each of their backgrounds

Same fish, look at the scientific name, there both acanthicus Adonis just different common names.

 

[turtlesrock]

NOPE.. just look the fish up on the internet. scientific name has nothing to do with it. firebellied toads have different scientific names yet all of them are the same. if they have the same scientific name then y, when we look them up we get different results for each common name.


CLEARLY THEY ARE NOT THE SAME SPECIES.
