You'd get bored and end up putting in one of your big cichlids that would decimate a planted tank.... If you remember back about 1.5-2 years ago I tried planted with apistos and ended up selling the fish and letting my big cichlids have their way with the plants...... You are pretty much cut from the same cloth.....
Arapaima? I remember you saying that you wanted to turn your sons old bedroom into a giant tank!
Yep a good old fashioned SA random run of the mill lfs trade in Oscar would definitely work! Haha
Serious note: with that big of a tank, it would be awesome to get one of those huge plecos with the blue eyes ( as seen on the Neil Patrick Harris episode of tanked).....but I hear they are like $1k

People say a pleco only tank is boring. But I think it's only as boring as the fish that inhabit it. This is what I am going for down the road. And you said 300. So I thought of this guy

I m curious as to what the aggression is like since there really isn't much place to hide. As a lot of the ones he has are known aggressors. But everything in there is mid hundreds to almost a thousand a pleco. His tank is rather huge but still a lot thrown in with them being that size. Instead a bunch mix it seems like the ones he has are all near the area they are from. Rather than some which would never see each other in the wild. But the blue stones are a nice touch and the huge tree root

Damn that is a lot of fish. I would never mix half of them, (plecos? yes,) but some of the others, nah. Im not sure about the blue rocks, curious as to why blue rocks? Everything I have ever read says to use a fine sand/gravel substrate. I agree there is easily $10,000 in fish alone in that tank

He said the reasoning behind the fish was to balance it out. To get rid of dead spots that small fish can get to. I know sand and stones is a great one with plecos. Some like soil and stone and so on. I really want to get back to South America and take pics and video of these fish in their habitat so we know exactly how they are and where they spend most the time.
Problem is we, unless having a gigant tank with lots of width won't be able to simulate it perfect. A lot of panaque like fast river flows but also low current. So you need to have both. In my 55 I have high flow on one end that stops mid way and there is a drop off into a valley so it has less current. No fishin this yet but trying to give choice and record what I can. Also no one records what the temps are at night fall vs day all year round. Like koi are four season fish. Are plecos? People just say keep them in this range... Right now I turn heater on mid day at 80. And then at night put it to 72. So far no problems with it and they seem way more
