I've just brought home 4 X peckoltia sp L265, very smart looking little fish. Are these quite rare and is anyone else keeping or breeding them and can possibly give me a few tips?

Cheers

i've never seen or heard of anyone keeping them before, i doubt they are rare as such, but rarely kept more like, planet catfish only has 2 registered keepers so cant be too common.
any pics??

I'll get some pics as soon as they are a bit more settled, they are feeding ok but I don't think they appreciate the Cory sterbai they are in with so I'm going to do a bit of a tank re-shuffle.

I'd give them a bit more time before you commit to a reshuffle, it will take any fish a few days to settle in a new tank and the Cory's are just getting used to these new invaders, any disturbance now will cause more stresss to the Plecs.
Peckoltias are nice fish haven't got any yet and must admit i haven't looked at L265 but i would quite like maybe some L163 or L211 or some L076 Orange Seam
i'd probably get the 211's :yes:
Look forward to Pix :D
