It looks like they would be hard to get a hold of are they?

I just don't know what to get I need a pleco that can handle a JD but only reaches 6-8 inches.

I finally decided on a pleco it's a bristlenose but not a normal one. I want to get a starlight bristlenose pleco

A golden nugget would be amazing! Would it be fine though with a Jaxk Demosey I have heard they can defend themselves right?

So I'm brand new to this forum but not the fish world I have been keeping fish for about 10 years of my life. But right now I have a 55 gallon tank with 2 marine land 350s on it. My tank temperature is 76 degrees. I perform weekly 50 percent water changes as well. The question I have is can I add ...
