Can't find a pic, maybe the shop had the wrong name.

On closer inspection it's not that either, mine is much longer! I'll take a photo

That's a chocolate pleco or rhino pleco.

Yeah I know the convict and firemouth need to go, the wife bought them not knowing!

Which cats should I pull, the feather fins?

Funny thing, the firemouth is the boss of the tank at the moment!

I think you should try it at least. You never how it would turn out unless you try.

I'd pull the feather fins , one pleco and the yoyo loach.

Like I said that's what the shop said, chocolate, rhino or alligator, although I think it is something else.

It is not Pleco shaped, it is much more slender longer and has different colors!

Oh ok post pics.


I think the decor can go either way. I've tried both ways myself and it doesn't really change much. Some fish do tend to be less aggressive without decor then there is those that just claim the whole tank as theirs. I had this problem with my big midevil punisher. I got her and 6" black convict together they worked well in the 75 at the lfs. I toke em home and all hell broke lose punisher killed the con in a few hours.

It's kind of hard to tell big does look rhino or very close to it.
