Hello

I have 1 male and 2 female L066 plecos.
I am planning to build a new tank for them so i'm waiting suggestions for tank size.

Currently my plan: 85cm width, 50cm depth, ~40cm height. is this enough? Depth is fixed and cant change (because of room) but it can be a bit longer and higher or lower.

Tank is for breeding. So i want best option.
Please suggest, thanks :)

Most important is depth and not height for the Ls. If you have the chance i would go for a 3 or 4 foot tank with 50depth and 40 height is ok. Have fun and post a photo when you are finished with your project. Make sure you have enough caves and hidding spots for the 3 l066 . Cheers jk :thumbup:

Okey thanks. I have done my homework and most breeding logs starts with 3 foot, But not so much depth. Current idea is 2,8 foot - i think it's not bad but i will check if i can do better :)
