How long you gonna keep the plecos for then? Or are you gonna upgrade?

Oh I'm definitely going to upgrade. I just started to get into aquariums not too long ago and I didn't bother to do research for unknown reasons and I went to buy a tank at petco. I asked what fishes I should get and well I was given terrible advice soo yeah. Once my pleco out grows my 20 I'll upgrade. As for the plecos I think I'm only going to keep them for a while /:. I just don't have enough space for a tank bigger than a 55

 

[Koikeeper99]

What do you keep them with? And yeah same I went to petco they were kinda helpful I was gonna get one in a 10 gallon sadly but when I upgraded I got one they said a I need at least a 30 gallon:/......no

Same here about not cycling but I just got super lucky and nothing died or seemed stressed

 

[Aquavic]

That's good. Right now my nitrites are going up so I'm about half way there I guess I know the nitrate conversion takes longer but it'll be worth it. The last remaining Molly is doing fine finally, it's poop is back to normal and it's pretty active. I want to put another Dalmatian but I dont want to risk it. I'll just wait unroll cycling is complete

 

[Koikeeper99]

Probably a good idea haha

 

[Aquavic]

Until* ugh I hate my phone -_-
I think my plecos are healthy enough to return to the 20, I'm going to start heat treatment.
Pictures are coming soon

[Aquavic]

That's my Dalmatian, sorry for the blur

 

[Koikeeper99]

Nice! I have that same mountain thing haha

 

[Aquavic]

These are my awesome plecos (((
Sorry of you can't see the big one, it's kinda stressed because it jut came out of quarantine

 

[Koikeeper99]

Nice plecos aren't they aggressive towards each other or is that only when there bigger? An yeah can't see the big one haha but no big deal

 

[Aquavic]

I've never had a problem, it seems that they enjoy each others company. They never fight, but then again most fights happen during the night.

 

[Koikeeper99]

Good as long as there's no violence

 

[Aquavic]
