plecos with discus

[mangopleco]

hi i wanted to know if the Scarlet Pleco or the Red fin Cactus Pleco can go with discus?? they r both good looking fish

I would think that in a big enough tank and with the right furniture, that combo would work OK - after all, the discus will like meaty food, as will the

Pseudacanthicus

One thing to keep in mind with discus and plecos is tetra prima or similar. Feeding this in quantity will kill many plecos, even non-vegetarians. They over eat and it swells so much in their stomach as to kill them. No prima no problem. All blackwater Ancistrus are good discus companions. If you're DO is better than your average discus tank then consider other things like

L134

or

Baryancistrus demantoides
