Welcome to the PlanetCatfish Forum. You have a nice list of plecos. Is there much squabbling?

There all fairy small and the only grief I get is from the green phantom. On the hole I think I've been quite lucky, it's well built up with lots of rocks to hide

Re: Uk new member
That's indeed quite a list.
Just a tiny word of caution as to the longevity of appropriate feeding (maybe that's a poor description)- there are some more specialist feeders that need their diet to be a greater percentage of meaty foods, some others need more plant based materials, some are omnivourous. You might wanna consider how this is acheived in the enclosed environment.
(is there any bogwood in the tank?)

The tank has a large peace of bogwood at it's centre with loads of holes with rocks all around it's side and top.
I've been feeding wafers, bloodworm and cucumber.

Re: Uk new member
When we say "meat", we're not talking steak, but for example high protein prepared food like tetra bits, shrimp pellets, etc. But you can also feed prawns and mussles - however, that's NOT good food for the herbivores.
