Hey, thanks Dave!!! Very quick reply.

My hesitation is that I really don't have anywhere to put this guy except in with the frontosa. I think that's probably a bad idea..... Just not enough space. What do you think? This guy with some synos and a colony of Mpimbwe gibbs in a 125g?

Two more pics:

A friend has this guy for sale $5. I'll admit I'm a little interested, but I want to know what it really it. He called it an albino common pleco. Any thoughts?

MatsP-

Thanks for the help! I'll start there.

I did a search for L133 - it didn't turn much up, is it the same as L333? I'll try that too and see if they're similar. Thanks for the replys, but I hope someone has some experience with these guys...

bump?

I looked at the cat-elog entry for this fish, and it said that it is tolerant of varied water parameters. Can anyone be more specific? I'm thinking that I'd like to have one of these in my Tanganyikan community tank, and possibly in a frontosa tank as well (both tanks- ph 8.2, gh 13, kh 11). It ...

Then I'm sure the playing is spawning behavior, but I don't need ot worry too much about the flashing? Thanks Rusty!

In my 90g (up and running ammonia and nitrite free for ~8 months), when I do my weekly water changes, the multipunctatus cats start doing some of the craziest flashing I have ever seen. Nothing happens to the cichlids. I have also noticed that the synos are much more playful recently (since spring ...

the yellow labs can be one of the more mild-mannered malawians, so I would say that you would be alright as long as your pleco can thrive in the elevated pH that the labs should have. just my .02.

Best,

Matt

Thanks for all the great help. I haven't been around this forum too long, but it seems like a very knowledgeable group of catfish fans. I hope to continue to learn more.

I just lost two giant petricolas (4in and 6in) after they jumped out of my tank (I had covered the holes with hard plastic, but have since reinforced the coverings). It was awful.... They were great fish and didn't bother my juvenile cichlids at all. I'm wondering if three adult S. Multis would be ...

These are great fish. I had two of them and really enjoyed them until they jumped out of my tank late at night and died. I'm not sure how they did this since I have covered the space between my HOB and hood with hard plastic. That was devistating, so I recommend that you be sure to cover any holes ...

29g Tang cichlid community tank. Waiting to set up 90g similar tank. Gravel substrate, lots of hiding places. Ammonia 0, nitrites 0, nitrates <30, Ph 8.3. I have done a good deal of reading about syno petricola, but just got my first two this week (Tanzania Giant Variant), so I have little practical ...
