Granit Bay Posted May 7, 2012 Report Share Posted May 7, 2012 I got a 6 footer the other day and I was wandering if bn an L066 would be able to grow out together in it until breeding size. I have 3 L066 at about 5cm. and the bristlenose are about 5-6cm. just want to make sure that they will be fine together before I put them in. thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve6610 Posted May 7, 2012 Report Share Posted May 7, 2012 i did the same thing, but my 066 didn't grow as they should have, these 2 fish have different diets, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Tech Den Posted May 7, 2012 Report Share Posted May 7, 2012 They should not be aggressive to each other and just keep in mind that your L066 is a carnivore and his food is not really good for the BN. Just something to be weary of. You might choose to feed the BN though the day and just before lights out drop in the food for the L066. Good you have a tank that size they should do well it is just the food that worries me. Here are some specs for the BN Ancistrus cf. cirrhosus • Loricariidae • Cat-eLog • PlanetCatfish and for the L066 Hypancistrus sp. (L066) • Loricariidae • Cat-eLog • PlanetCatfish So just check your water for what you want it to be and for it to correspond with the links. Too quick for me tonight Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
