What size tank do you keep them in?

What do you feed those things?

Chicken legs?

They are in a 270 with the stingrays.  I'll probably need to upgrade in a year , maybe two.

Common pleco do get huge, how big is yours?

They eat cut fish mainly with some market shrimp.

i also keep big cats. the the two tsn the only guys you have? at the moment i have a p. niger (26"), rtc x tsn hybrid (22"), tsn (22"), perruno (12"), and just picked up two scribble line plecos (12" and 14") yesterday. how big are u'r cats and what do you keep em with?

Sounds like you have some real beasts!

These two TSN were around 24-26", I lost them both last month during transport to a show. :(

I kept them with an oscar, a spotted gar and the stingrays.

I feel belittled, my pleco is only like 10" and I have some large Raphael's, though I think I found them a home

really sorry to hear that. what exactly happened to them? are you still interested in the big guys?

Yeah it was a real bummer.  I was in a hurry loading up two 210 gallon tank setups and alot of fish, I put the cats in containers with stingrays and I think that may have been the big mistake, as the cats thrashed around alot and may have been stung.

My wife hated the TSN so I will stay away from them for now, but I'm always looking for something cool to cohabitate with the rays.
