| Anyone been?? Went today as its only 20 mins away from me and my sister lives in Grantham and they have a VERY nice selection of fish. Had a LOT of plecs in, even scarlet ones. Guess how much...£25!! BUT they wasnt anywhere near as nice as the one i have just brought (the shop owner actually picked her out himself out of many from the breeder). They wasnt even really red, it was more yellow i had to ask if the labelling was correct. But its worth a look, as i say nice selection of plecs in.
Just wondered about the Clown plecs, havent seen them before and they was only £5. I want a small plec for my 124l tank cos my other 2 will be in the new tank. They said they only really grow to about 6inchs, is this true? They was very nice looking fish! | |

| Ours is 3½ - 4". They are supposed to max out at 5". I'd say one will be fine in 124L.
Ours just sits on the bogwood all day & when there's an algae tab to be had, he sticks his fins out like they're muscles & struts round the tank being the Guv'nor! | |

| I found some more info for you on here. 29 US gallons is about 120L so it should be fine your tank. Lovely fish btw. I love plecs but I'm holding firm at just two - until I get my four foot tank, that is.
