Pegasus Posted December 18, 2003 Report Share Posted December 18, 2003 Welcome Marty. Lots of interest here, and I suppose we are all still learning in one way or another :) Give the NZFR a plug at your next meeting and bring a few mates along.

Caryl Posted December 18, 2003 Report Share Posted December 18, 2003 Hi Marty. Glad you finally dropped in for a visit. Some of us meet regularly in the chat room around 9pm most nights. Perhaps we might see you there some time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boxa_girl Posted January 5, 2004 Report Share Posted January 5, 2004 Hey there marty, hows things? Hey I have had a problem. My computer crashed deleting all my email address, So If your still keen to show us your fish collection, flick me an e-mail. Hey I have been offered a three year old Plec, as the people wh have it do not have enough room in there tank, they queried whether it would get along with my Discus's. Do you have any idea whether they would have confict? cheers Monique Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris.L Posted January 5, 2004 Report Share Posted January 5, 2004 plecs have a tendancy (sp) for sucking the slime off the discus. I wouldn't put it with them if it was big.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
herefishiefishie Posted January 6, 2004 Report Share Posted January 6, 2004 Hello Marty, right about the still learning.. :roll: seems never ending some times.. Frenchy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Posted January 6, 2004 Report Share Posted January 6, 2004 In regards to plecs sucking the slime off discus - I'm beginning to wonder if this is a bit of an urban myth - admittedly I've never kept a common pleco with a discus but I haven't had any problems with ancistrus, clown plecos or brazilian butterfly plecos with discus. The only algae eater I've ever seen latch onto the side of a discus is otocinclus which I find really amusing as they're the ones that normally get recommended for discus tanks. I can think of other reasons for not keeping a common pleco with discus though - distruction of any aquascaping and plants, tendancy to blunder about a tank disrupting other inhabitants etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
