Hello All.
I have been doing research on the subject and can't decide on a species of pleco to add. I believe I should be selecting from hypancistrus because I don't want them eating my plants. However, I am open to other genus or specific suggestions.
I have an established 30 gallon freshwater tank:
75% ground exposure
79° F
6.6 pH
5 GH
2 KH
One other note...
I've had two plecos die on me within the first two weeks... I don't know why... But I don't want it to happen again... L200 and L135.
First I tried introducing the L135 and when he didn't work out, I tried the L200.
I will be using my quarantine tank so I can monitor his acclimation better. No gravel with a cave and driftwood. Any tips on this process also would be helpful.
I feel like my selection is limited because of the tank size and current stock. As long as they take over a year to grow, I am open to placing him in a bigger tank when needed.
Thanks, for your suggestions and help you can offer.
