    A good setup first need to have line of sight between the pleco and you. the ability to take out dead fish immediately is of paramount importance.

    Thanks for the advise. I think there is a need of a minor touch up on my setup as i'm still in the learning process.

    Nice set up.....What's the dimensions for the tank?
    ...people ask why I eat fish even though i'm such an avid fish keeper... Bottom line is that I've been eating fish a lot longer than I've been keeping them...

    Yes according to bro Barmby it's not 134. To my knowledge 134 have lines that are not so straight and the tail markings are also different.
