Need idea please

Post by puipy »

Hello,
I have 60 iches aqua with 30 cardinal + 30 runny nose + 10 boodfin tetra+ 1 Siamese algae eater+6 panda cory+2 sterbi cory+ 1 golden nugget pleco+1 candy strip pleco(maybe this name?)+ 3 yamato shrimp + 4 octo with plant decoration.
My question is if I want to put more pleco, can I put 5 more? and is Golden Nugget pleco aggressive, since i heard it will eat another pleco mine is about 7 inches and about 2 years old. and candy strip is about 2.5 inches. I used to have snowball, and 3 faroh,but it not eat anything and die. :cry:
thanks

Ancistrus ranunculus, or Medusa Plecos have fairly specific requirements regarding current levels and dissolved oxygen (DO).
In order for these fish to thrive, they absolutely require the water to be near to or at saturation levels of DO. The water needs to be meticulously clean and under very heavy currents in order to accomplish this. Based on this, these aren't the best species for a community tank set-up.
Sincerely,
Paul E. Turley
