Rubberlip v.s bristlenose pleco

[HairlessPotter]

Nice!! Clown loach? How bigs your tank?

No, clown pleco. Him and my bn are in a 40 gal and they are doing great so far

 

[Gboy66]

Hmm cool!! Ok well i think im goin with a bn unless i can be convinced otherwise..i dont think a rubberlip would fit

 

[HairlessPotter]

I've also heard rubberlips hide a ton and aren't to active

 

[Gboy66]

Thats not good. I have tons of spots

 

[Joyler]

If by spots you mean green spot algae, then there isn't a fish or member of CUC that can help...you'd need to adjust something...

 

[Gboy66]

Nono haha spots to hide in..

 

[Joyler]

Oh ok my bad...but just had to mention it

 

[Gboy66]

Oh ya i gottcha hope i can find a male bristlenose somewhere...are they territorial?

 

[Joyler]

I havent noticed any...but they sure can move landscape if it's not firmly in place...those bad boys got some muscle

 

[Gboy66]

Do they uproot plants and stuff? I have big rocks so im not worried bout that

 

[Joyler]

Mine can...but I used pea gravel...and I think my plants aren't rooting very deeply....blah

 

[Gboy66]

Hmm i hope he doesnt!! Ill take the risk tho

 

[Joyler]

It's a good risk they are neat fish

 

[Gboy66]

Perfect. Thanks guys!!!

 

[Joyler]

When you get him, we want pictures...just sayin

 

[Gboy66]

Oh here ya go, meant to post some

 

[Joyler]

Awesome!! Can't wait to see the bn! What is your stock btw

 

[Gboy66]

K
Going to get
5x hatchetfish
3 morex glolights ( we will see if this works!)
2x angelfish ( really small so they get along with the glolights)
1x ram (bolivian or german)
Bn pleco
Already have:
7x glolight tetras
1x peacock eel
1x featherfin cat

 

[Joyler]

Just make sure you research angels and rams compatibility...they are both cichlids (at least I think angels are cichlids)...just as another little suggestion...though they may be fine together

 

[Gboy66]

Iv heard from most that theyr okay, but will do! Also, suggestions for how to clean up after eel? He makes a huge mess that i dont think he will clean up himself..
