I want(need)another pleco

I already have 2 small sailfin plecos I was thinking about a royal pleco or another L number. Does anyone have a suggestion? Also its a 72 gal. tank. Nothing aggressive please thanks Evan.

Evan,

Personally I would go for a Royal. They have such characters and you can't beat that sound of them chewing/scraping at a piece of bogwood.

In the smaller L No's I like LDA33 (kids have named ours spotty. He is out all the time) or L134.

Sailfins get large and Royals do too. They may not enjoy a 72 gallon tank a year from now. Maybe consider a smaller species of pleco to prevent overcrowding. Also, my Royal will chase any pleco that comes near his side of the tank, he does not share nicely at all. There are some pretty smaller sizes like L260, L134, L66 and L121. Good luck, whichever you choose!
