I just go ahead and be obnoxious.

I don't post here very much but I lurk constantly so here is my 2 cents: Frankly I admire those who buy a group of fish, L200 or otherwise, and are disciplined enough to keep them in species tanks, provide the exact water chemistry including seasonal changes, and make every effort to breed them.

I take a whole sweet potato, quarter it, shove the ends of spoons in it and throw it in. My L191, L200s, bns, parotocinclus sp., and panaque maccus' all love it. All raw of course. All of them devour all parts of the zuchini and cucumber.

The other occupants would include a couple other small plecos like BNs and/or some of the smaller hypancistrus. I haven't decided on those yet sin...

Hey folks, I've never posted much on here but I've been a frequent lurker for quite awhile. I'm looking for several opinions from those who have kept these guys and are fairly familiar with them. I have a lot of respect for the opinions here obviously, and I'm wondering what some here think about ke...

Completely different species obviously, but my pitbull pleco won't touch anything but fresh cucumber (not blanched).
