New Green Phantom (L200)!

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
beautiful fish forsure!
 
What an awesome plecko!
Wish we could get them over here ( at a good price)
 
They're known to be real non-aggressive and great community plecs even with small fish. They like cool water and lots of current. Mine is in a 100 gal with 3 Fantail Goldfish and 2 Rapahel catfish and does great. My male GT is pretty passive with other non-cichlids, if yours is the same he should do fine there. I've got 2 L191's also, they can be territorial but you'd probably just have to play it by ear. The L200 wouldn't cause a problem in either tank, I'd worry more about the other tankmates.
 
I would try the 100 gal. first. If you do try w/the L191, make sure they each have a cave/territory for themselves.
 
Thanks for the tips, guys :thumbsup:. According to the previous owner (who did a great job of raising this guy up from 2", BTW) he totally dominated a similarly sized sailfin pleco. It wasn't constant aggression, as each had his own cave(s). Just whenever they crossed paths, or if the sailfin got too close to the phantom's home cave- BAM! spikes would come out & the sailfin would get punked. Neither show any damage, wounds, etc. so it couldn't have been too bad.
