Chubby Pleco
Posted: 07 Sep 2005, 17:50
Hello,
I was just looking for some info on the Chubby pleco. I've searched the forums and looked at the other info, but I just need to make sure i get this right.
First off, it's a veggie eater, correct? Do they need any protein at all?
Also, I understand they like good oxygenated water and strong currents, a powerhead in an 80 gallon tank should suffice I hope?
Are they at all agressive towards other plecos? I'm wondering about the sailfins specifically, there might be one with a chubby for a bit if I have to, otherwise I'll set up a new tank.
Finally, what is their natural environment like? I want to make this as accurate as possible, is the substrate sandy, fine, rocky, etc? Any driftwod or anything else I need to be aware of?
Love this site, keep it up! And thanks for any responses!
