jesp Posted October 11, 2009 Report Share Posted October 11, 2009 Howdy all, I have a nice tiger pleco which is 1 1/4" to 1 1/2" which I received from a friend recently. I cannot put it in one of my cichlid tanks, and I don't want to put it in my planted tank either since I have had too many plant munchers in there in the past. This leaves my peacock fry tank...... Can I place this pleco in with my 1/4" fry that just got stripped friday? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkangel Posted October 12, 2009 Report Share Posted October 12, 2009 I had 2 one inch juvi queen arabesque in my cichlid for quite some time. I just moved them 3 weeks ago into my planted tank. They are about 3 inches now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jesp Posted October 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2009 What kind of cichlid tank did you have it in? I have a 70 gallon peacock tank that already has a....6 inch royal and an 8 inch common pleco. The peacocks are 3-6 inches. Then my 50 gallon mbuna tank I would be worried about having them in there. I have some big lake vics in there too. Do you think I could put it in? I would like it to be in the mbuna tank eventually anyways.... Your thoughts?

darkangel Posted October 12, 2009 Report Share Posted October 12, 2009 I had a nice piece of driftwood in the tank. They were in with kyoga flamebacks, yellow labs, ps. acei, a pair of leopard bushfish, and the last month a pair of blood throats. everybody got along just fine with no battles. One thing to take into consideration is, what works for one may not work for others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
