Aquarium Advice FINatic
Hi all,
I'm looking in to getting a pleco in the near future (maybe more like in 2-3 months: after I'm positive my tank is cycled and the bout of HITH is gone). I was over at LiveAquaria trying to match up some potentials. From the following list, what would be best (opinions or facts, it doesn't matter) in my tank?
My tank is a 29 gal (glass) with a single 3" (including tail) Ryunkin goldfish. For filtration, I have an AquaClear 200 and a Penguin 100 (just over 10x turnover rate). I'm using small aquarium gravel (30 lbs) for substrate and a piece of artificial driftwood. For plants, I have about 6 bunches (4-6 stems each) of Anacharis and I have 4 "fake" plants. The water is at a constant 78F, but on a hot day without the A/C, it goes up to roughly 81F. (Yes, I know that gold fish are coldwater... but I rescued this guy from my outdoor pond and had to put him in a tank.).
So, with that being said, here's the list:
Candy Strip (L135)
Bushy Nose
Tiger (L02)
Zebra (L46)
Gypsy King (L66)
Golden Stripe (LDA20)
Snowball (L102)
Angelicus (L05)
Net (L037)
Yellow Prince (L72)
Price really shouldn't be an issue, but I don't want to spend too much. Probably no more than $30 (which throws out the Golden Stripes, and possibly more).
Like I said, I'm open to anything: opinion or fact.
Thanks!
