Finally got a Pleco

Today we made a trip out to Coburg and got our first Pleco. The whole reason/idea of getting a 4ft tank was to get big fish, but up until now we haven’t actually got any big ones!

He is awesome… Has taken a liking to one of the caves that the Pictus likes to live in, but there has been no fighting. He is much bigger than the Pictus though so maybe that’s why.

We also got 2 Bristlenose caves while we there, so they can have a hidy hole. Be cool if they bred, but knowing my luck they will be all the same sex.

We also made a decision to get rid of the Congo Tetras. When they zap around stealing food off the BN they seem to be taking chunks out of their fins as they go. I’ve also been told by a few people that the reason the Pictus never seem to leave their caves is probably because the Congos are so active and fast and scare them a bit. So Sunday we will take them to Coburg Aquarium and they can have a new home there.
