[knifegill]

Acanthicus Adonis. Pushes everything around. Super territorial!

 

[Plec123]

L200 above all for me.
a (not very close) second would be L190.

Toss up between L273a and the L25.

Agreed. I have a couple albino adonis and they are bullys. Also amazing looking in a big tank.

How big are those albinos? Are you selling them or hanging on to them? Just curious. I miss my Adonis badly .

Are plecos generally considered aggresive ?? if so ... how do they usually attack other fish ?? probably not by biting cuz of their folded mouth ??

 

[Repz]

Royal Panaques
Aggressive to similar species otherwise very docile.
They are shy to begin with and will try to hide, eventually they will come out even during the day.

In real life, the L128 blue phantoms don't hold their ground to the L200 Baryancistrus demantoides IMO.

I had 5 L128 at almost 10" each.

They are truly blue at that size. Would "beat" an L200 any day.

 

[McPhishy]

1. L25
2. L24
3. L14
4. L48
5. L114
6. L142
7. L46
8. L47
9. L200
10. L190

Favourite. my big Gibby.

Temperment, grumpy old bugger. Chases my Oscar around the tank. Hasn't been able to corner him and do any serious damage, and the Oscar is getting bigger now.

But don't mistake big plecos for peaceful wimps, they are the armoured bulldozer of the aquarium world. If they get annoyed they can open a can of woop ass on most other fish.
