L-183 starlight bristlenose pleco care?

Just put him/her in lol. :) I told you I was gonna acclimate slowly! Alright, I put some of the decor back in, and (s)he's already met the cherry barb in there. (it took the cherry barb a little while to realize that little white stripe she was poking at had a body attached to it lol... Then she left it alone) the pleco has had a brief intro with the betta, and while all went well... I'm still nervous... Definitely keeping my eye on them. I'll try and post some pics tomorrow... I'm too tired tonight. Let's hope (s)he can stick it out through the first night!

Ok, removed all decor. If I can't manage to get the Ph into the 6.5 ish range, would it be asking too much to just go ahead and put him/her in the ten? I really don't feel comfortable putting him/her in the main tank without getting the 2nd filter first... But I will if I have to. Mail comes around 3-4 so I really need an answer by then!

I would imagine it's not that big of a deal. Not only are you close to the "perfect" pH, it seems most fish are more worried about a consistent pH, than a specific pH.
 
@ authmal, thanks, that makes me feel A bit better. :)
@ AAF, 1 male betta, one female cherry barb, and the pleco... The betta seems to be fine with the pleco... He seems more curious then anything.
 
Pics!
 
Congrats on getting the fish you wanted!:)
He/she should be ok in the tank until you move him/her. I had the L144 or whatever they're called now in a betta tank once and they did fine. No attacking whatsoever.
 
Thanks! Yeah, my betta seems pretty chill. He's just self absorbed and doesn't like other fish cramping his style lol. Anyways, little fishy survived the night! I found him cleaning the glass this morning. :) I'm going to put a fourth of a piece of zucchini in for him/her since (s)he looks kinda hungry. :) (may stuff with thawed bloodworms as well... Not sure yet.)
