I have a 40 gallon long tank that, come the right season, will have some Chinese fire bellies in it. The tank currently houses some African dwarf frogs and some feeder fish of sorts, to get the tank going. I also have two plecos.
However, I picked these plecos up when they were only about 2 inches long. They're now about 6 each, and I'm assuming they will keep growing. This tank won't be big enough for two full grown plecos. I'm sorry to say I didn't know they got so big when I bought them! I've only ever seen little small ones.
The tank has an avg. temp around 68F. Happy medium for the frogs and newts both, and the plecos and feeder fish don't seem to mind. I've done some searching and all the algae/bottom feeders I find seem to require higher temperatures.
Everything in the tank is doing just fine, the plants are green, moss is spreading, no fish have died. I'm just afraid those darned plecos are going to get to the point where the tank can't support them.
There aren't/won't be any aggressive fishes in the tank. I just need pleco replacements! A local store is willing to take the plecos, so they will go to a good home. I most certainly will not be flushing them lol.
