PS. If I want to put Zebra Pl*co, do you think it is OK.?

Thank for your help and suggestion, i live in THAILAND, we don't know much about pl*co, they just import, but less information.

My golden Nugget always chase SULTAN PL*CO, Shoul Ii move it out., but he never chase oher three.

The Adonis no
Sunshine what the h*ll is this?
Titanic no
Eventually
alos eventually
The Panaque: depends: if it is a member of the Panaque dentex species group, it will be ok, if not it won't work out good...

Also it would be nice if you could use scientific names or L number instead of these trade names, it is easier to id correctly a fish this way...
PS. If I want to put Zebra Pl*co, do you think it is OK.?
No way... your has basically no chance to make it alive in short/middle time...

Hi!

grows quite big... but it ain't too much aggressive for his size... still better avoid him because of it size, you would need a slightly bigger tank to give him sufficient space...

How about this way, my Golden Nugget is male, can I add some female golden nugget in smaller size? now I have to move Sultan Pl*co out since Golden nugget try to kill him, but Golden get along well with L-200 and butterfly Pl*co.
Thanks

Hi!

That sounds like a good idea...
Just make sure you provide enough cave for each fish to retreat and furnitures to make visual barriers...and it should be fine...
Also don't forget to quarantine the newly bought fish before introducing them in the established tank

Cheers
