Joshwd Posted November 10, 2015 Report Share Posted November 10, 2015 Hi guys im looking at getting the aqua one 2ft tank. I was wondering would it be at a sufficient enough size to sustain a few different rarer breeds of plec and have them grow to a breeding size? I am thinking of getting it and have some nice angels and plecs. Thanks guys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
th3f0rg0t3n Posted November 10, 2015 Report Share Posted November 10, 2015 angel's no , will grow your small L number pleco's just fine if you have good filtration plenty of wood / logs & plenty water changes too keep nitrates down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GotCrabs Posted November 10, 2015 Report Share Posted November 10, 2015 When I had BN mine started breeding at around 6cm, had 1 male and 2 females, both females bred well, driftwood is a must, also some caves as well and as mentioned good filtration also, pretty easy to breed also, set the right temp, have the right WP, water changes once a week, all good to go.

pk333 Posted November 10, 2015 Report Share Posted November 10, 2015 I don't get this? I'm sorry if this upsets anyone, but you're thinking of buying expensive to very expensive fish, and stocking them in a single, small tank. Why do people, and this is not a go at the OP, but an observation made by some one else I am echoing, look at cheaping out on their tank/s when they are stocking hundreds or thousands of dollars worth of fish. [MENTION=16722]Joshwd[/MENTION] I'm not that experienced with L Numbers, but some of the reading I have done, indicates that you have to be careful when stocking different species of L Numbers to make sure they have similar diets, as you don't want to mixing catfish that require a high protein diet with wood eaters in a small tank. If I was considering buying and potentially breeding some of the rarer L numbers, I would be doing species only tanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshwd Posted November 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2015 i understand what you are talking about. i just want a nice habitat for them. then if they do grow large enough i will move to a separate tank to breed if i ever decide to. i will not be buying very expensive ones just a few cheaper ones. im doing it for looks.

pk333 Posted November 11, 2015 Report Share Posted November 11, 2015 I must have misunderstood the original post as usually when some one is talking about rarer plecos, you are usually talking high $$$ to $$$$. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joshwd Posted November 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2015 Also, the tank came with a head of random fish. Just wondering what this fishy is? www.4gp.tw/ba3m/1447667166525.jpg And I will be moving half these fish to another place and put fish in that I want once I know the tank is going well.

Joshwd Posted November 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2015 Ok I think I found it. An American t bar chichlid. Should look pretty when it grows older Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pk333 Posted November 17, 2015 Report Share Posted November 17, 2015 The two main fish are Angels. Is your tank cycled? Do know about and understand the nitrogen cycle? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
