yet again i ask....

im very sorry for asking yet again, but i want it to go right. this will be my last one i promise. :lol:
i have a settled pair of bristlies, that stay in the left side of the tank. there is 2 pieces of bogwood, and some caves. i plan to re decorate the tank though.
i really really want another pleco, and i like the L128 pleco, L200 pleco, L066 pleco, L134 pleco, L262 pleco, and the L177 pleco.
big list i know, lol, <3
they arent in a particular order, although the L128, L200 and L066 plecos are very nice.
any advise would be very helpful.
thankyou!!!

L066, L134 & L262 all have dietary requirements that can conflict with those of the Ancistrus.
L177 can be very difficult to acclimate if you aren't familiar with the perils of wild-caught fish. Much more so than most other plecs.

How big is the tank?

thankyou, the tank is 3 foot long, and a foot wide.

Tank is 2 small for the L200 or 128
Your sadly going to have a problem if you mix any of these fish in a tank that small.

Why not get a small group of Hypans say 201 or 129 and try to breed them?

"Mixed Pleco community tanks" very rarely work. A understanding of the requirements of plecos is not some thing that can be picked up in a few weeks or even a few years

What few people understand when starting out is that one pleco could be as different from another pleco just as much as a cat is from a lion.

Try to visit a few experienced pleco keepers and pick up tips by looking at what they do.

thanks forr your post macvsog23, i dont want to cause any harm obviouly.
with breeding hypans, that would be in a seperate tank to the bn plecs?
thanks again

you can have dwarf panaque in with Bns ok, such as gold stripes , clowns or flash plecs.

but bear in mind your BN may breed soon and you will need every inch of the tank for BN young!!

and please dont worry about asking questions, thats what the forum is for.

thanks irene, um i dont want to risk another plec, and it hide all the time. i know al plecs hide but i think the pit bull plec is active?

maybe, I have not kept pit bull so cant answer, why not try some interesting tetras or cories other dither fish?

i have some nice cories, thats what i thought, spend the stocking on upper level fish. and get another tank for some morre plecs

A tank with lots of hiding places will make any Pleco more happy to be out .

Strange as this may sound he will become confidant that he can run for cover when he wants to .

Regards B

i will try more hiding places, and if he comes out more.
i really want anoother plec though
