[AquaticLife] results from pet store
I just looked at your pics. Since the pleco (I only saw one) was listed as being 9 inches long, it’s not a dwarf species but it also does not appear to be a common pleco. I’m not familiar with that species. If someone else out here doesn’t identify it, you can go to either http://www.PlanetCatfish.com or http://www.PlecoFanatics.com and post a pic in their “Identify My Fish” forum to try and figure out what it is. Other than Albino variants, I do not recall seeing a solid colored pleco like yours… but then your’s doesn’t look like it’s an Albino variant either. Here’s the link to the picture for any others who might want to try and ID it. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/AquaticLife/photos/album/525705630/pic/1601357 774/view?picmode=&mode=tn&order=ordinal&start=1&count=20&dir=asc
I couldn’t make out the other catfish picture and the other pleco pictured behind the big bronze colored one could be a common pleco but a better picture would be needed.
If they are both common plecos, you would need at least a 125G tank just for them… and then you could add some smaller tropical fish to add a little variety but NO other BIG fish in the 125G. You will also need a bigger tank for the two goldfish. Unless your budget allows you to get these bigger tanks, then you should really consider rehoming the pleco’s and the catfish and then keep the goldfish.
You could get a matching 29G to go next to your existing 29G tank… and maybe use one of the aquarium bridges that we talked about out here recently to connect the two tanks so at least you would be providing 29G per goldfish in total water volume.
Once again, copy/paste everything into one thread when replying… so we don’t have three or four threads going in the same subject.
