Ianab Posted October 30, 2007 Report Share Posted October 30, 2007 I dont think any of the catfish you will get in NZ will live in true cold water. MAF wont let them be imported because they could live wild. It's possible to keep some plecos with goldfish if you go semi-tropical (~20C). It's a compromise but both fish can handle it OK.

michael.qian Posted October 30, 2007 Report Share Posted October 30, 2007 not exactly, borneo suckers will happily live in the cooler end of tropical temperature, about 20 degrees, but any lower might stress them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpidersWeb Posted October 30, 2007 Report Share Posted October 30, 2007 Just put a small heater in it, set it as low as possible. Just want to stop it from going under 18 degrees for Borneos, or say 22 degrees for bristlenose/plecs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
