Would anyone with experience with Parotocinclus jumbo/lda025/Pitbull Plecos take some time to educate me. I am considering adding a few (>3) to my catfish tank after I upgrade this Spring (33Long with handful of corys – busy busy Albino Bronzes). Info on web says corys and lda025 can live together, even shoal together. So, is this really the case? Even when the plecos are adults? How territorial do the Pitbulls get? Do they need Caves? Or just shady hiding places? Can they eat enough at feeding time, or do the corys grab it all? (Minus the vegetables of course, the corys have been very unimpressed with veggies found loose on the tank floor.) How about when the Plecs are breeding age? Aggression? Bullying of tankmates?
I’ve read they breed like corys. So does that mean no caves, no parental care? (still trying to get my computer to load the Shane's World breeding article...) Any other important bits of info would be appreciated! Thanks
