A Suitable Replacement For The Shark?

Saying you have a "Plec" doesn't really help us a great deal. There are many different types of Plec. Belonging to the family Loricariidae they are generally sucker-mouthed and covered with scaly plates. According to the Oracle Wikipedia, there are currently 680 species identified! These vary greatly by habit, size and diet and without you knowing which one you have, it becomes difficult to select suitable tank-mates. Incidentally, it also becomes more difficult for you to provide adequate care for it too. Needless to say "tiny fish that I thought was a baby plec but I'm not sure, it's about half the size of my little finger" isn't really an adequate identification of your other fish, for your needs or ours, if we are to assist you.

Planet-Catfish may help you in identifying your mysterious Plec. You have to rely on google-image search for your other fish unless you can post a decent photo of the little beastie on here. Once we know what you have, we can give you some ideas on what to add.

What peacefull creature or fish could I replace him with? Ideally something nice or interesting to look at and small enough for a 1 metre tank

Here's an idea for a peaceful and interesting fish for a 1m tank; a Pearl Gourami....

Nope.... that's your job!

According to the Oracle Wikipedia

Thought Sue was the Oracle? 

This 'quote' things awfully confusing, eh?

It's by pretending, to not being able to do something fairly simple, like quoty things, that we allow menfolk to feel 'manly' and superior beings...

.....seriously though, what hope have I got of ever being able to do a linky thing

Yes I that's why I'm asking about a replacement for him, him being a scavenger /cleaner upper type of fish.

Ooo look - you forgot the bit where you say "Thank you for trying to help".

...and I say "Don't mention it".

...but you didn't. *sigh*

Can I be a yogi, please....

Colin if you care to look at any of my previous posts I always say thanks etc but I've had sarcastic comments from the outset so why should I?
I come here for advice that I can trust not to be spoken down to. I also try to offer advice where I can too.

Ah right - so what are Colin & Steve?? 

I'm not sure I'm allowed to write those sort of words on here

Mmm....let me see....Steve is a prefect/policeman and can be very strict if you write stuff off thread, (a bit like this one has gone ) He can be quite scary, but I think he's a pussycat deep down and Colin, is the Master of links and daft cartoons....and tongue-in-cheekiness
Having said that, they are both extremely knowledgeable and always ready to help....plus they put up with me...but then I am lovely
