Another two points....

1. That's some serious plumbing sticking out of that wall....are you upgrading the filter as well? Bet you've already covered this, havn't you, and I've forgotten already....

2. You must really trust your pond armor. I guess by this point you know what you're doing with it though...

Oh well....off to watch your webcam again..!

John,

Funny you should mention the titanic... I've been looking around. The guys down at exoticfinds.net said last month that they didn't have anything on the import list, but to check back in with them at the end of this month. Since that's coming up pretty soon, you might want to drop them an email. I talked with "Blue," who might be able to help you out. I'd love to do a showcase tank with an adult Titanic Panaque!

been talking to blue..........:)

Pleco's that grow in excess of 2 feet.

L064Pseudacanthicus sp.
Lyretail Cactus Pleco
L090cPanaque sp. (= L203, LDA65)
Titanic Panaque, Titanic Pleco, Volkswagen Pleco
L155Acanthicus cf. aff. hystrix
Lyretail Pleco

A Lyretail Cactus plec would add lots of colour. Not that you already need it but the titanics/volks would add a solid 'giant' look to your tank... Erm, Sub-River.

yes it is.... what do you think ??? bad idea or ok ??
seems to be around 16 - 18 inches and its aggression is over rated... so I'd say lets see... but it'll definitely go after the cichlids after another 8 inches or so.. Try get a close up pic. If its a wallago attu then reconsider . if its a leearrii (not sure if spelled correctly) then it'll be fine, not as bad as the W.attu.
