Where are the BN going?

wendyandgary · « **Reply #9 on:** February 02, 2008, 11:41:19 pm »

In the 125, is it best to keep them seperate from other pleco's?

Sharon · « **Reply #10 on:** February 02, 2008, 11:46:17 pm »

I was just wondering if you're going to be too much overstocked. Tanks are labelled differently, here...is that 125 litres?

wendyandgary · « **Reply #11 on:** February 02, 2008, 11:50:10 pm »

yes litres. both my tanks are overfiltered(internal and external), do you think the 125 is overstocked?

Sharon · « **Reply #12 on:** February 02, 2008, 11:59:17 pm »

Well, with two filters I can't imagine there is a problem with the current stocking. If I remember correctly, the new pleco is 5-6 inches...and the two BN are going in here. I don't know:confused:......seems like a lot of fish.......wait for someone else to comment. I tend to be a little on the conservative side...........:rolleyes: I definitely would not get two...the other tank has a lot of bottom dwellers, so that won't be an option.

Yeah i dint think qwo would work so im gonna go for 1 in the 125 and the two bns not really looking to add anything to the 180 as stocking is right and water is good and stable.

I don't think that the BN of the L Numbers will have a problem with each other, all 3 are pretty chilled out plecs, not aggressive, are the BN m/f? 2 males will fight, m/f will breed.

2 girls will be fine
