P. dovii pair & pleco(s) as tankmates?

look all im saying is that if it works in those extreme small conditions, it certainly has a possibility of working in much larger more ideal ones.

Also its not my responsibility to go PETA on everyone with a tank too small for their fish. This is a fantastic forum, but everyones constant berating of others for too small of tanks does get old. I know i offered up the information, but theres really nothing I or anyone else can do about fish keeping habits like that. Im sure he would take a larger tank if someone gave him one

If someone mentions keeping a potentially large aggressive cichlid in a very small aquarium, especially a pair, people are going to say something. It's not about being mean. It's about educating people in the best ways to humanely keep certain species of fish. People really shouldn't get fish of that magnitude if they cannot house them properly. Since you are on a friendly basis with the person that you mentioned, this information will be accepted much easier coming from you. That's all that was being said in reference to your post.

i understand completely, i was referencing more people who jump on the band wagon after the fact. One person saying it is one thing. But 10 others saying it afterwords is what gets tiring.
my friend also isnt a hidden reference to myself so i take no offense to whats said.
Cheers.

PS as i sit here and think, I have been in somewhat of an argumentative mood lately, so i do apologize.
