It's 9 1/2", what should I do with it?
I just adopted a 9 1/2" pleco because I bought the tank he was in. The only problem is he was in a 30 gal tank (poor guy) and the biggest I have is a 55. This is my first big pleco and I know (pretty sure) he is South American. I was wondering how he would do in a 55 gallon tank with African Cichlids. I would like to keep him but more importantly I would like him to be happy and comfortable. I was told he is about 8-9 years old, does this sound accurate? Thanks in advance.
I have someone that is interested in it for their pond. We do live in FL, will it do ok in a pond. It still gets pretty cold here sometimes.
I was wondering about it needing to be heated. She said it's a very large pond and it can go deep for the winter to stay warm...but I still question it. And it is with koi, don't they require different temps?
