"Community" Pleco tank

[seanmc]

Hi,

Is it possible to have many types of plecos in a largish tank?

I'm looking at setting up a 135G (72 x 18 footprint) in my living room, and would like to know how many plecos it is reasonable to keep in a show tank that size (no breeding attempts).

I'd be looking at plecos that stay under 8".

The other inhabitants might be angels, tetras, apistos and/or rams, and maybe some corys (are corys compatible with plecos?).

The aquascaping would be heavy on driftwood, low-light plants, and a few rocks, with medium/fine gravel (natural color).

In terms of species, I'm partial to the Gold Nugget, Starlight, Blue Phantom, Leopard Frog... (basically anything with some interesting color/spot highlights). (Not interested in Zebras).

Any advice or suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks very much,

Sean

Yes you can keep a bunch of different plecos together, so long as theres lots of hidy places for them so they can have their own territories. I've got a 6" gold nugget in with a couple royals and a clown pleco and they are doing just fine :) That mix should do alright together that your talking about.
