I am interested to see if I can have success breeding different L numbers in the same tank whilst not having cross breeding or aggression issues. My aim would be to have L600 L046 and super reds in the same tank with the goal to breed them. I only have one large tank That I cannot easily separate into two or three sections. What are your thoughts?

Hi,

it can go because these are plecos from three genus.

However, you should possibly do without the Ancistrus. They can disturb the Hypancistrus zebra.
The Pseudacanthicus will likely just ignore the others.

You will have to structure the tank very well with many hiding places and offer plenty of caves in different sizes.

To breed the Pseudacanthicus leopardus and the Hypancistrus zebra, higher temperatures are needed than for the Ancistrus sp. "Red".
