I got caught up in the "oh, aw" game
Posted: 08 Aug 2008, 03:24
With more plecos available out there, I found it was so easy to get caught up in the oh, aw, game. You know, oh.... I love L066s .... aw, what about these L134s .... and so forth. It is so easy to buy but I'm going to have to get smart and ask questions on what would be suited for my specific water parameters.
I've bred BN plecos, easy to breed, easy to care. I then got some L066 and have had no luck with spawning them, so then started looking at what else was out there. I was wanting to try something different than the BN. My water params are:
PH 7.6
Conductivity is 190
Alkalinity is 70
Hardness is 80
Could you steer me towards what would be suitable? It looks like hypancistrus do best with some RO water when trying to get a spawn, I've read? I don't want to start fiddling around with the water, I'd just love to get a nice looking, different than LFS, not a large pleco, to hopefully be happy in my tank and grant me some fry down the road.
Any guidance would be appreciated. Thanks for reading.
