Hello,

Have one question is there any posibility to keep l333 with panaque maccus(l104)? Will they cooperate in my 120cm X 40cm tank? Ph around 7.0, temperatur 27-28°C.

The L-104 are pretty docile creatures. Although I did see them head butting over a piece of zucchini last evening.

Maybe check out the cat-elog entry for both fish? It'll also tell you the desired water temperature and more info for both species. Pretty handy when working out if and when to add a certain species to your existing population.

personally i would think on temperament, it would be okay.

but because L104 are vegetarian and L333 liking a meatier diet, i wouldnt think it would be a good combo.

Well, both species like neutral ph so that wouldn't be problem.

L333 like temperature 27-29, and l104 23-28.
Will be the problem with feeding? Know that l333 love meaty food, that's way i feed them with quality tablets, artemia, and others. But i read article about panaque maccus breeding, and they say that occasionally they can be feed with artemia, ofcourse prefer wood, and some vegetables, also i think if they can choose between, cucumber and for example artemia, they will take that first? Ah need some advise

The problem that DJ is referring to is to restrict the intake of meat for the Panaque and get enouogh meat in for the Hypancistrus.
