lucky they survived the night it wont be long before they get caught out and are food.
plecos like peaceful tank mates they need to be feed not just the algae that grows on the sides of the tank.
They love caves. Some need to have drift wood to rasp on to help digestion.
do you have a 2nd tank that you could let the plecos live in? may be the best choice

No, I ment to pickup a breeder box for them but got outbid n forgot. Ill probably tip into my lfs and pick one up

so your plan is to keep these fish crowded into a breeder box [-X [-X [-X [-X [-X

Beats the alternative for now

take the plecos back to the store before you kill them

or buy a second tank and set the water level to the same height so you only need 1 filter

BassAddict is now into slowly killing fish!

Yet another reason he must be banned and soon

Cant, they were bought at a auction, they are safely burried in the rocks once the new filter i order comes im gonna add a 10 gallon grow out tank. Special thanks goes to Ahab and his degenerate gambling habit that made it all possible,!!

Uh oh I don't see the crawdad strutting around.

Man thats a beautiful looking tank you got. I dont keep cichlids but I have a 40 breeder with a syndotis cat and a clown knife. I use it as a grow out tank until they can go into my 125 with the other monsters. It has a channel cat 2 Florida gars and a red tail shovelnose hybrid who has currently been having trouble swallowing my suction cups.

Yea I lost him when my largest black bullhead got through the barricade I made while he was shedding....... Shame if I knew that I would of ate him myself, crayfish are delicious!!!

Nice, jonboatboy!!! Pictures? As mentioned above I have 2 black bullheads in there (you can see the biggest in the first pic) that I can't wait to find a new home for. They are hold outs from when it was a lake tank. After their gone I want a syndontis multi which was my first choice at the auction but all they had was a breeder group of 5 that went for 120!!!

 

[redbug]

where was the auction??
