My shoals tankmate

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Just bought a Pleco at the lfs... Going for attempt #1 which will be the one and only time. Hope it doesn't catch the attention cause it's like tanish and not a common dark Pleco.. If Cat fish can do it, this Pleco can too! Atleast for a period of time, but hopefully forever!

did you already add it? my recommendation to adding tankmates or another piranha to an established tank is to reaquascape the tank to break up established territories and then chase the fish around with a net, hopefully by then they're all buddy buddy from being scared out of their mind and too worried to view the new guy as food

BAHAHAHA good idea, will chase them till scared ****less then add the Pleco. Ty ballin. Hope the Pleco can last a while..Wish me luck bro!
 
i've had no problems adding new fish to my rbp tank.well at least not with ones i didnt add as feeders.hell i even have 3 out of 50 jack dempsies i added a year ago. i have 3 big plecs (witch i have always hated) in there now.
 
So far so good.. The Pleco is hidden underneath the hollowish dw. My catfish is just still swimming aside the shoal..
 
I use to keep a warmouth with my redbellys to redbellys warmouth was the same size as them 3 inches he lived for about 2 mouths then became a snack haha gotta love red bellys favorite fish by far
