South hams hunter 8,922 Posted February 11, 2013 Report Share Posted February 11, 2013 I have some green phantom plecs - nice, but seem to need a decent space. My tank is only filled to about half the capacity of fish it can take, so they can spread out. Not small though - they grew a lot bigger than I was expecting. are they like other plecs and sit out in open? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Half my tank is pretty open, just gravel, the other part is plants and wood - so they have the choice - they spend a lot of time in view though, for plecs Quote Link to post Share on other sites

LaraCroft 863 Posted February 11, 2013 Report Share Posted February 11, 2013 I find that my clown loaches are the most likely to hide, not sure why - have had them before and they were really quite social Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Paid 935 Posted February 11, 2013 Report Share Posted February 11, 2013 My favourite hiders are a pair of fresh water black gobys (Mugilogobius sarasinorum) right little characters. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
