What is a good hiding place for a pleco

[fishman3]

decor wise,like what do they fit in

In the early stages of my tank used flagstones (slate) and smaller smooth stones to make caves. Now I use softer materials like wood and still use the smaller stones. Your pleco will like to be concealed when in it's cave. I made a couple of different spots throughout my tank. It is a BN so won't get too big but I will have to adjust as he grows.

driftwood...it serves as a hiding place and is part of pleco's diet.

but like a plastic one that you by from a store

The selection of artificial structure at pet stores is limited. What size is your tank? You could try small ceramic flower pots.

What kind of pleco

 

[i3k]

Why not buy driftwood? I mean most plecos require driftwood as part of their diet. It will make your aquarium look more natural, and the pleco will benefit from it as well.

I would wait until you get your 29gal running and cycled. Then purchase a medium sized driftwood piece. It's a bit of work to get the tannins out of it, but it will be worth it at the end
