SeaDevl Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 Hi all, i am getting my 20 gal long ready for fish, would this structure be ok for a small pleco to hang out in..? There's about 4 inches going back and a small opening in back.. Thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
813aquatics Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 (edited) The rock structure looks great, I did something similar with two overhanging areas and my BN pleco loved hanging upsidedown where the “tunnel” is and would pop out as soon as she saw food arrive. I would recommend maybe adding some more broadleaf plants, both my BNs like to hang out on large verticlal leaves and hang out in the flow. Some BN plecos allegedly really like to munch on Amazon Swords but I’ve never had this issue so just something to keep in mind. If you’re planning on breeding though they probably will require a cave structure that is fully enclosed besides the entrance. One last thing I forgot originally is that your pleco will definitely benefit from a small piece of driftwood included so it can munch on it for necessary nutrients.

Levi_Aquatics Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 I completely agree with @813aquatics it looks great and I think they would love it. If you want to breed them you might need to buy a dedicated pleco cave. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
