If you were a bit closer Kate I could have
given you a few, they are awesome looking cichlids
when maxed out as adults.

a really beautiful little plec I found them really difficult to keep.
I hope you have more success.

we've had issues with our plecos too, especially when they get big. they get so lazy its hard to get them to eat and eventually they die. i think we've lost 3

this last one seems to be doing better, but we never see him. He's a HIDER and we have to really look to find him. but he's smaller than the previous ones. like 2" instead of 4"+

The substrate is play sand with a sprinkling of fine black gravel.
I added the gravel to the sand to diffuse the light of the sand
when taking pics. I use it in most of my tanks.

Allie the Nics can be pretty aggressive especially in breeding mode.

Ben I have to order most of my cichlids from breeders,
the stores here are not great at providing the more
sought after cichlids either.
