hi guys,

iv got a tank with 6 corydoras weitzmani's in and im looking for a small attractive pleco to go in with them. any ideas?

also the current in the tank isnt strong so they would have to cope with that ok.

cheers.

andy

I just bought some snowball plecos and them seem do be doing fine with the current in my tank. They are really cool looking. They are the only ones in the tank so I dont know how they would get along with your corys.

If i had spare tankroom i would definetily go for L400 hypancistrus spec. belo monte.(the one alistair has in his avatar)
It's the most beautiful pleco next to the zeb.

big white spot is another one i will go if i move all zebra to my new tank. hope they do fine with the cories.

thanks john, would an L400 live without a strong current happily? how big do they get?

Same size as a zeb, just make sure there is enough oxygen.

those leopard frog plecos look really nice, L134

I also suggest L134

andrewcoxon · Post by **andrewcoxon** » Mon Sep 18, 2006 8:28 pm

yes i really like the look of those, they we're my thought originally too. and there easier to get than the L400's

I have L129's which are very nice little fish, hoping they have a go at breeding at some point! Ancistrus are a big passion of mine as well though and would be one of my first choices other than a Zebra plec! Oh and then the L117 and L200 as well... Sorry I digress!

Sorry to say but its an L250 not an L400! They are different.

I would look at L200's also, or if youve got space how about a goldy plec
(scobiancistrus aureatus)

thats a little beauty alistair. where did he come from? iv searched L250 but i cant find much about them>? do they have a common name?

What is the size of tank they are in?

Peckoltias by the way can get a bit agressive, especially with other L No's, so they may also be with fish that occupy the bottom of the tank.
