    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Keeping a pleco tank?

Alright, I have dwelled into the realm of the scaly wet ones instead of the scaly slithery ones. So I figured I would ask a few questions.

I have a 50 gallon tank that I am keeping plecos in, all of the plecos that I have are different morphs of Bristlenose (longfin, shortfin, and colored), a clown, and a rubberlip. So all the ones I keep stay smaller than 6 inches.
I also have some khuli loaches.

What I would like to ask is how to successfully maintain live plants? I have some, but they all look worse than when I got them and are falling apart lol. I am not much of a green thumb.

Also, what is a limit as to how many plecos I can have in this size setup?
I know they can be territorial, so I have plenty of caves and hiding places of plastic or driftwood.

So does anyone know what plants would be good to keep and are easy to keep as well? Thanks.
