Hi, it would be in the short term, (but an Adult bn would be better in your larger tank (just my opinion)) until your L471 heals

Re: L471 grey patch around dorsal fin missing scales, possibly from aggressive Bristlenose
Sorry to hear about Spot and yes it does look like a rasping mark from another plec, keep the water clean and it should eventually heal, Obviously if you could separate them that would be ideal, as it's happened once it will happen again, I would also recommend you get a heater guard as plecs will ...

Thanks for that Marc, Swiss tropicals is where I had seen them and he does say enquire about shipping costs.
I'll hang on a bit and hope that one of the uk suppliers get's it in, I'm not short on variety so no rush.

Re: L128 breeding
Hi, hard to tell 100% from the pictures but it does look like a young male, maybe to young to breed yet but hard to tell the size, and it's Odontodes by the way
Males have longer odontodes behind the gill covers and on the pectoral-fin spine.

Re: Bristlenose skin problem
e)Ammonia, Nitrate, Nitrite, levels = 0, 0, 40 (always been a high Nitrite level in this tank)
Are you mixing up your Nitrite and Nitrate readings? 40ppm Nitrate is quite normal here in the uk, but 40ppm Nitrite is really bad.
