markvs Posted September 6, 2008 Report Share Posted September 6, 2008 I have a few plecos, and cats, and am wanting to set up a mainly them type of tank. I want to have lots of driftwood, and few plants, These are the fish I have at the moment, in a 4ft'r what else could I add. "normal plecostomous" Chocolate talking cats x2 gold nugget plecostomous x4 glass catfish x1 As well we have a gold gourami, and a few assorted tetras, and harlequin barbs.

Charlie Posted September 7, 2008 Report Share Posted September 7, 2008 A 4ft tank is great space to play with when keeping plecos. It all depends on what you are willing to spend. You can get some VERY neat plecos for $100-200 These are on the lists so ask your pet store to order them for you if wanted.... L52 L47 L128 (big and small) L30/90 L14 L81 I reckon mayby a colony of L52 and a L47 would be neat, with s large school or penguin/cardinal tetras, a nice school of tiger barbs. Lots of wood and a few sections of plants. All depends on your budget and what your wanting to have your tank looking like... I have a nice big collection of Ls and would never regreat buying them...
