i like the scarlet, wonder how much though? Or the leopard cactus would be nice. maybe vampire....lol you got me going again i think i will have to make an order soon.

im thinking about the L152 Pineapple, they get pretty big but they slow down around 12'' mark. i love their scales!!

Just make sure the plec is large enough. There are many cichlids that can kill a pleco very easily. I had an adult green terror that would not tolerate any pleco. He harrassed the hellout of my 12 inch rhino. Ihad to removed the rhino or it would have died.

that's probably my biggest concern. with enough hiding spots and a cichlid with its own low level of aggression, i see the possibilities are endless!

I had a 12 inch Texas Cichlid kill a 15 inch sailfin so I'd be careful what you mix together.
