A guy I work with told me about that place, but I'm not from here I know Bardstown Rd but no idea where at on there it is.drgnfrc13;3239720; said:I just realized you live in the same city as me.
You should go to Pet's Palace on Bardstown road. I've seen some large plecos there.
what pleco to get?

Don't ever get a plce to "clean up". They'll eat algae (sometimes) when they're young but quit when they're older. Besides-whatever they eat comes out in twice the bulk at the other end. For those 4 cichlids you're already at stock limit (or over) in a 150 g tank when they're grown. Plecs are major poo machines and it's just plain wrong to get such a wonderful fish for "clean up duty" when they make a bigger mess than they can possibly clean up.
I had a 10 year old ~18" common pleco that till the day I gave him away to a LFS he still did a great job keeping the algae off the glass and other decor in my tank. From about the 12" size when I'd feed the Oscars in that tank he's come right up to the top and take pellets, krill, bloodworms along with the Oscars and then also eat up any left over food that slipped out of the Oscars gills during their eating. So IMO they are good for cleanup. As for the 150 not all those fish are going in there the Oscars and a pleco are going in it and probably the GT also. IMO for a 6' 150 gallon tank is not anywhere near overstocked. I've had common plecos for 15+ years and would like to see something that looks better in my tanks now. I'd much rather be cleaning poo out of my filters and off the Sand than uneaten food.TwistedPenguin;3239802; said:
