In my 45 gallon. i have three small and cute severums. The biggest is maybe 1.5 inches, but i'm thinkin' he's about 1.25 inches, and the other is about the same. The thrid is smaller ~ a inch. It is a planted tank that is 3 weeks old. There are lots of hiding places and some driftwood chunks. I have a 6.5 inch Lima Shovelnose that i want to add in with them. i'm thinking that the severums are yet to small. I have only had them for a few days and they get feed bloodworms twice a day to beef them up and to keep them healthy. They eat all of it . I also wanted to add a gold nugget pleco in their. Are they algae eaters or carnivorus like zebras?

I believe with the gold plecostomus, you need to varied the diet. But it is mostly a carnivorous pleco if I remember right and it does like bloodworms too. But I would also varied the diet in putting some algae wafers just in case. I hope you are talking about the gold nugget pleco?

I'm adding my little arawona to this tank also, so i think i'm holding off on the gold nuggets for know.Plus, my LFS got some in, and they are a little larger than what i want( a least right now)
