I am setting up a 100 gallon tank and I would like to get some ideas on how to set it up. It will be a pleco only tank. So please post pictures of your tank and briefly describe your setup. Thanks

What a great tank TKP! Pat yourself on the back. What size is it?

Very nice tank. It definitely gives me some pointers. I especially like how each pleco has a place to itself.

this is my 240 Litre tank housing 6 plecos and a bunch of callichtyidae along with 2 pimpictus. The pic is a little but off on the sides but gives you an idea. Under the stones on the right are half flower pots giving the smaller L15 some cave hiding places.

TKP,

What size is that tank? It must be enormous!

How big is the Royal Panaque at the back?

Do the Panaques fight with having so many in one tank, however large?

my tank is 60",about 600L water.
the big Royal is 16" long.
if you want to mix many Panaque into same tank, don't put the similar size of Panaque into one tank, because when two similar size Panaque in a same tank, they will love to fight with the other.

I interested to know too whether you got them at such sizes or you kept them from small. Whats their growth rate like? Like whats the primary diet for them?

It is very difficulty to keep the Panaque grow over 12" at home, the juvenile Panaque will grow about 2" per year. when the Panaque growth over 8", the grow up rate become slower, some of them stop grow up or grow less than 1" per year.
this Panaque is 16" long when I bougth it.

TKP,

What kind of wood do you have in the tank? It is very nice.
