hey zebra_man..have you spawned any plecos yet? Like bristlenose or anything? Just asking cos the panaques are hard. Unless you have experience with other species you are going to have a really really hard time.. you may differ from this thought.

sweeeeeeeeeeet another L255 lover.. I am not aware of anyone else who has this species as a colony in New Zealand. They are so kool
I am currently in the process of setting up more tanks for all my plecos so each type has its own tank.

in my opinion
