L 200 Green Phantom ??

My 200's were very peaceful, I've never kept 240's so I can't vouch for them. What is the footprint on the tank you currently house the 240's in?
It's an Oceanic half circle, 58"L x29"D x30H. Inspite of 4 slate caves and a few caves put together from lots of rock and wood, the L240 are aggressive among themselves, lots of torn fins.
I have no idea how they are with other plecos. I'm begining to feel I'm going to have to back off and wait till the Altums are 100% It's going to be hard on the OCD that seems to be at the root of this hobby. (in my case anyway)
You're right ! I should have a quarentine tank at the very least, to QT or grow thing out in. Time to go a few rounds with the wife.
In the mean time it looks like I have to put the L200 on hold for a while, very challenging, I so excited about having a little herd of these guys !

Finding a used set up is the easy part, convincing the wife I need another tank at any size is the challenge, lol.
At first size was a concern, planet catfish lists them at 5.9" max, not the first time they got it wrong. Now still being a pleco addict I just need a few of these guys, never had them before.
Things have gotten iffy with my Altums, and I do not want to chance adding smaller L200's to the L240, so I have to wait.
Since we last spoke, some time ago, I had to sell off my Panaques due to back problems and their filter clogging talents. Now I have much longer filter maintenance intrevals, but have slowly started upping the pleco count again, pleco-itis never ends.
I'm now entertained by 3 albino sailfin gibbys, 8-12", 6 gallaxias L240, 7"+ and of course, could'nt stay away, 1 L190, 4"+ and 1 L027, 3"+
Top of the list now are 4-6 L200, and that will be as good as it gets for a while.
Hope you and your herds of royals are all thriving, Regards, Mark.
