Hi all,
iv seen these fish available via mail order for a reasonable price, after looking them up on this site im seriosly tempted to get some,
does anyone have first hand experience in keeping them?
would they coexist ok with my gold nugget+royal plecos?
cheers guys

They should coexist no problem in a tank with enough hiding places for all of them. L260 are going to need substantial amounts of meat in their diet. They like warmer water, so you'll want to pick your tankmates carefully. They are definitely a neat fish. Buy a pair or two and you could probably raise fry from them!
