Hi all! New pleco owner here and had a few questions! So I don't know a whole lot about plecos yet, never really planned on getting any but my wife was showing a little more interest in my new 75G tank than usual and asked if she could choose a fish for it so obviously I couldn't refuse! She decided she liked plecos so she ended up buying two labelled as L236 Super White Plecos which are apparently Hypancistrus sp. They were not cheap so I'm hoping they do ok! First of all is there any general tips or things I should know about them? Obviously I've researched them but it's good to hear personal experiences as info online is a bit variable. I'm normally the sort that would have researched for weeks before even looking for them but my wife is not and she was at a fish shop while I was at work and decided to pull the trigger, I don't want to discourage her so I let her even though it makes me feel a little uneasy. They are about 2 inches now so about half or bit under their eventual size, what sort of size do they need to be for me to sex them? I've tried looking up pics but the differences to my eyes are really subtle at the moment. My tank has a bunch of hidey spots but I think I should get them some caves, has anyone found a type or DIY'd themselves some caves that are fairly discreet? Or natural looking? I have a nature style scape and don't really want to spoil the look with some random ceramic/plastic/slate tubes or caves. Some pics of our new pets: Thanks in advance!!
