zebra plecos

Well I'm not really a "long term" owner, but I have had the fortune of getting four of them a while back, before christmas.I think in october.
My ideal set up would be to have a small breeding colony of 10-15 of them in a long, high flow tank. maybe 40-50 gallons. I'd probly have enough "hiding ...

Long Finned Plecos

I know these are just a version of dwarf plecos but I don't know which one. They only get around 6-8 inches max. I have 20 of them in a heavily planted aquarium and they are growing fast and look amazing. Also they have a vast colour variation amoung them. (no albinos)
Also what size do dwarf plecos ...

Vampires

Right now I could put them where ever they need to be. From what I can find on the net you can't put more than 1 in a tank unless it's very large.
The same was said about gold nuggets but I have two in a 65gallon and they don't leave each others side. I just want to know if 35 canadain is a decent ...

Kennyi and syno Petricola

Would these two mix well in a tank or are the petricolas going to have the snot beat out of them by the kennyi? The kennyi are only around two inches, but the petricolas are much smaller and wouldn't go in for at least another year. Any other fish to go with the kennyi or species only. I've got 20 ...

re pictus

I would have thought these guys are pretty hardy. around here they are a little pricey for being so common although I got mine really cheap. How big is he if your red eye tetra is dragging him around? Mine like to "cyclone" the water at feeding time. They swim in a fast tight circle together and all ...

Don't feel too bad

When I bought some "cute" looking "wood cats" they were only an inch and a half. Not knowing better I did no research on them and litterly threw them into a tank of beautiful wild caught red badis badis. There was lots of cover, rocks, plants, caves in a 20 gallon. A few months later I noticed not ...
