starlitskie Posted January 17, 2021 Report Share Posted January 17, 2021 I'm adding a few more plecos to my tank. These ones are babies from someone's pond. My tank is tropical. My understanding is they prefer the tropical water but will they acclimatize ok to the sudden change? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
livingart Posted January 18, 2021 Report Share Posted January 18, 2021 You could acclimatise them slowly in a bucket until close to tank temperature or float them in a big bag Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caryl Posted January 18, 2021 Report Share Posted January 18, 2021 Can you be more specific as to what these plecos are? There are a lot of different species out there commonly referred to as plecos. As I think your aquarium is only 70L, it is not suitable for plecos which grow up to 50cm. If you are meaning the bristlenose (Ancistrus) they are a lot smaller. They will survive in cooler water but not necessarily thrive. They may have problems in winter if you have a cold house. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
