    Hi there, I have a 60 gallon tank and I built the aquascape with a cave in it with the intention of getting a bristlenose pleco. However the more I read, the more I'm concerned about my hardscape. I have two large pieces of mopani and several branches of manzanita. How much, in your experience...

Problem is they are babies (about an inch long to longer for sure), they almost look like 182's or 183's they are black (really dark brown?) they have small white dots on them and have a white...

    Hi, At the LFS they showed me a BN pleco. Was quite nice, black with the usual white spots. I have never kept these before. What are the things to watch out for in terms of aggression, feeding habbits, territorial nature? Do I need to put in special sinking food for them? Are they veggies...

    Hi, Last month I rearrange my tank and found some pleco eggs on an unused bubble wand. I moved those eggs to an unused 5 gallon and they all grew! Now, my main concern is that I will be adding driftwood to my tank and most likely, my only pair will have their eggs in there. I don't want...

    I have a 29 gallon set up and ready to stock. It is currently housing a 3" bristlenose pleco. I want to add some rummy nose tetra and (eventually) a GBR. Only problem is that I dont know how many rummy nose to get. I was thinking 6-8, what do you guys think? Also, do you guys think this tank...
