I have 3 Pbass and i dont know what to put them with... they are currently with a normal pleco.... But I was just curious on what i should put in the tank with them...?
 
More PB?;)
 

I agree. If you have monos, try and find some orinocs, temensis, or even better yet azuls. Or order some of the occelaris hybrids that JuanTamad is always selling.

Other than that, any peaceful or semi-peaceful predators that can match the pbass's size and growth rate should be fine. I currently have my 12" monos with a 15" silver aro and a 12" TSN. My baby azuls will be joining 4 widebars and a green terror as soon as they hit the 3 1/2" mark.

What's an azul? i typed up azul in the search engine and couldnt find anything fish-related. What's its scientific name? or full common name?
 
im probably gona add a pike or gar or something.. but only problem is me getting these guys off the live food and onto krill and pellets
 
From what I can see there are quite a few azul floating around...you just need to find someone that will part with one. Which wouldnt be an easy task.

You can keep pbass with anything that won't fit in their mouth.

I would be getting datnoids.
 
i dont even know what a dat is lol im getting some red Pbass from my lfs but they are very small so im gona grow them out in my 20g first :) they are only 2"
