L-239 Blue Panaque

Hi all- I have ordered a pair of these L-239- I'm getting two at any rate- but the L listing doesn't have food/care/sexing parameters-

does any one have these that can tell me what to expect? Or is there an L-species listed that is similar enough I could use it's parameters?

thanx,

Okay, I just did a search of the site, and nothing new showed up. Does anyone know how big these guys are full grown? And do you think they would be comfortable living in a tank with a mango pleco?

From the links above, I gathered they(L-239) are a black water/ med-low pH, omnivorous, non-terretorial type of pleco.

Thankyou, Shane. I did a search and that did not come thru for me ;)

I guess when I get them I'll add to the general info!

It sounds like they'll be fine in the tank I have in mind- it's a 32gal cube, filtered by a 304 Fluval, with driftwood, flourite substrate, a few hardy plants, strong air curtain,temp 80*F, pH 7.0; tank mates are a 2inch mango pleco, a black ghost, a tire track eel, and there will be Geo. balzani coming on the same order as the plecos. I have currently a small coconut cave but I can add some other options for them to inhabit. My supplier said only two came in, so I'm really hoping they actually end up being a pair.
