I concur... would love another tank for goldies. How large is your tank? And what else do you plan to put in it (either more plecos or non-pleco dithers)?

Thanks.
My big one is not taking to him lightly. When I fed them today he side swiped him away from her(I am only speculating it's a female) but he does that to the smaller one at feeding time too but I have seen him do it to the new one when it's not feeding time. My girl said they were chilling next to each other last night while I was gone so there is hope. Either way they'll be fine.
The bigger one has started chilling with the smaller one a lot more it seems since I put this one in the tank, sharing a spot under a smaller piece of driftwood(the small one's territory) instead of it's usual bigger piece you see in the pic. But if the new one goes under his old spot he'll come back to chase it out.
I'll work on the pics soon!

Sooner or later they should have the tank to themselves but right now they are in a 120g 72"x18"x21" with 7 dats(2 IT, 2 NTT, 2 AT, and an NGT) with the biggest being 6-7", a 5" Fei feng, a 3" Port cichlid, and a 4" jurnese catfish that is separated by egg crate.
I may use this tank for a sump for a planned 300g 8ft tank but that shouldn't be for a while cause I will be still stuck in my apartment for at least another year. It seems better to use it as a sump then running 3 possible 4 different tanks.

Awesome! I am getting jealous mate!

LOL! Thanks!
Keep getting jealous mate cause next up is a breeding zebra pleco colony.

Galaxy plecos are another beauty!

any updates on them? did u separate it or they are still together?

 

[vaine111]

They are still together. They seem to chill together more now but the chasing is still going on.

hmm.. then u need a fish that is the common enemy of Goldies...

I would try L114s Somehow leopard cataus plecos dont get along with Goldies..

This might help your goldie to lessen its aggressive behavior and just chill out...

 

[vaine111]

I'm probably making it sound worse then what it is but you have me thinking...
If I get them I am thinking that they will be a group against the L114, instead of being against eachother.
I'll wait till I get the other goldies and see how it goes with seven or eight of them. I might not even be able to add another pleco with that many.
