  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
OOOOOOOH MAN!!!!!! That's horrible!!! Wow! Thanks for sharing the pics, I might not have believed it if there wasn't pictures! I don't want that to happen to my plecos!
 
I didn't really want it to happen either :) Now I have twice the maintenance!! I can no longer just suck out the crap!! :D

And the some of the shrimp doesn't get eaten either!!
 
So anyone having second thoughts about those gold nuggets?

Im thinking of buying a couple of 3" gold nugget plecos, would pbass leave them alone?

Whenever mixing any fish with pbass research max size also importantly growth rate.. If a fish gets 2ft but grows 3" a year then it might not work. If it can keep up with cichla growth rate, is already a good size then you may have something that works.

Not all large cichla are predatory towards fish of decent size. How often you feed, what you feed, and individual fish behaviour will matter. At the same time general rule is big fish eat small fish so be prepared.
