New pick up`s

[Drunken]

I just moved and redid my main tank, picked up 4 pluero`s
2 are eating pellets, the 2 others will look at them but not hit them. Hoping they will at some point, as it makes it a bit easier feeding a varied diet.

Full tank shot, in QT and when i brought em home

Thanks all, they are great fish for sure...

How often are you feeding shrimp to your male nelly ? I´m feeding chopped up shrimp every 3 days or so, hoping he will take the pellets inbetween... no luck yet.
I think i have 2 females and 2 males, and its the females who eat the pellets right now( very plump body compared to the other 2).

Anyone know if i could house a bottomfeeder with the pluero`s ? I`m thinking maybe a bichir or an armored catfish ?

my pleuro are in with a community fish envoiroment, pictus/hoplo/gibbicep/senegal bichir to name a few, yes around every three day's......yes the female's are much plumper looking where as male's are long skinny and slender

birchirs are the fish of choice for a channa tank , for some reason they just seam to get on well , and if the worse was to happen not spiney dorsals to get stuck in the channa mouth. pleuros are quite good though and get on with most things

cheers col
