Post by AlvinBrockway »

So my L205 came out of hiding finally after about a week of owning him, he was staying inside one of the decorations..what made it better is that he came out during daytime..i was so surprised to see him that i thought i was going nuts, so i decided to take a couple pics to share, let me know what you think

Right now, I have an oscar(12+ inchs) and 2 plecos a common and the l205 looking to rehome the oscar so i can get some smaller cichlids possibly africans thinking cobalt blues and possibly adding a green phantom pleco also but the oscar has gotta go to make room for smaller fish.

I suggest you do a little more research as to what will be compatible with the pleco's you have and wish to purchase, it is a good idea to rehome the oscar but rift cichlids like those mentioned are generally not a good mix with most pleco's...the water parameters needed are different and behaviorally generally incompatible.

yea i get worried sometimes at night, the common pleco is out cleaning walls and the oscar seems to follow him around, but hes never shown aggression towards the pleco im trying to rehome the oscar though and fill my tank with some smaller fish more suited to a community tank but the guy i got the oscar from said hes lived with plecos and many other fish and has never eaten one or even tried so i guess only time will tell.
