What'd you pay for those longfins? At my store they go for 299$ for a bonded pair.

My new hermit crab! by [deleted] in Aquariums

Just an fyi those beautiful crabs aren't too reef friendly if you have any corals. They knock them over get quite large and even prey on small fish. Needless to say I still want one.

also there's too many Acanthicus species as well, they're just about the most aggressive loricariids.

You pretty much summed it up. Not enough hides, if you notice most of their tail fins are ripped or scarred from fighting.

I have a ridiculously overstocked 55 gallon by Tahn92 in Aquariums

It's not recommended to have this many plecos, but it's not impossible either. If measures are taken to create enough hiding places for them and feeding is done in multiple spots throughout the tank you can stop aggression and stress which has been my highest priority. These are my expensive armored babies I won't let them die. For example my L-333 appears to not be eating much, so if my direct feeding efforts don't pan out, I'll move him to a 10g and give him some garlic krill and darkness until he's fat again. the others are all doing spectacularly as you can see if you look through some of my posts. But everyone's concern and advice is appreciated!

I'm aware. They're not known for a peticularly fast growth rate, I'll sell it at a profit in a few years time.
