pleco’s
Okay my LFS only buys one kind of pleco, the sailfin (which get’s huge, *sarcastic* yay). So I could probably get 1 for my 125 gallon tank, and hope it doesn’t get huge and try to eat any of my other fish. Right now it is my community tank/semi aggressive until I get substrate for my 55 gallon tank and move some fish and filters over there. I also have to wait until my new filter arrives in the mail, and the parts to the eheim arrive. They have some very small sailfin (for now small at least) pleco’s in the store and I could get one for my big tank to help with the algae build up that’s been appearing this weekend. I haven’t changed my lighting schedule and suddenly I’m getting an algae build up, which I guess is good in a way, except I have no algae eating fish, LOL. I also had to move some plants out of the tank because someone (I’m thinking the angel fish) are uprooting the smaller plants and/or eating some of them. I need to find some hardier plants I guess, they leave the bigger ones alone. My question is this, should I wait to get the pleco until I move the community fish into my 55 gallon because of the added bioload or will he benefit enough by eating my algae for it to be okay? I’m hoping my Aquaclear 110 shows up this week, I ordered it a couple weeks ago on ebay and they shipped it USPS (unfortunately) so who knows how long it’ll tank due to the weather in Seattle. I’m going to put the filter on the 125 gallon for some added filtration.
