Large Tank Setup

Post by grettonman »

I have just purchased a 6' x 2' x 2' and I am looking to stock it with some plecs. Anyone got any suggestions for plecs around about the same size as Queen Arabesques which hopefully will breed

How about Hypancistrus, Ancistrus, Peckoltia, Panaqolus?

I would strongly advice that you stay away from other Hypancistrus spp., as they may well hybridize, which is not what you want...
