I have a 5'x2'x2' tank with 5 L264 joselimai in it along with community fish ( keep the wife happy with pretty distractions, while I spend the mortgage on L numbers) I have found a stunning L091 for silly money ( cheap) I cant see any problem with putting him in but wondered if anyone knew better. They are well fed with fresh greens and algae wafers along with blood worm and so on. Also there is enough wood and caves to build a boat so territory shouldnt be a problem
Help please.

I had three L264 of different sizes. When i put a similar size L91 that was the same size as the largest they killed each other!!!
It was my biggest plec loss as the L91 is my fav second only to the L264

i think it would be "Ding ding, round one, of several hundred". You might get away with taking the 264's out and changing the tank around, putting lot's more hidy-hole's and then putting them all in at the same time, but have another tank ready just incase
. Can i ask where did you see them for silly money and how much they are???

Fishy friends aquatics in Basildon Essex, about £25 for a stunning 4 inch L91. Its a nice shop with a fair number of good quality L no and they are happy to look for others if you are wanting. It is where I got 4 of the 6 L264 and they are all great quality.
As for the hiding places there are many in the tank. I like to set my tanks up fish friendly rather than viewing friendly. There is over 30 large gnarled pieces of curio wood along with caves, tubes and piled slate. I like the drop from above method to tank set up, similar to the wild.
As for the L 91 I guess he better get his own tank. I am currently setting up a fish house and he will be fine in there. Hope fully with the 6 L264's I may have some luck in pairing and possible future spawning.
Thanks for the advise
