Nice L152. I've been thinking about getting one for a while. How long have you had yours?

nce group. Watch the aggression and size of the adonis as it grows, more than likely if he grows to adulthood, you will need a larger tank.

I was going to say the same thing about the Adonis. They also get a bit drab as they gain size too. But the tank has many of the same inhabitants as mine. I just picked up my L152 last night. Very cool fish. What size tank is that?

This tank is a 55 gal; for now all the plecos are crammed into it.

I will move the larger plecos into a 125gal 6 foot long tank within a month or so.

I already have a FX5 and powerheads waiting in their boxes for the 125gal when it comes.

Awesome. That's what mine are in, a 125. You're going to really enjoy it when you get the 125. The behaviour and territory defense are much more natural in a longer tank.
