[bluefish1]

Hi!
Im a new member on forum, and my question is, can i put M. iheringi to 120-liter tank and what fishes with him? Can i put some plecos, i have understand that this fish is predator that it eat little tank mates? What is good companion to tank, some bigger tetras and some pleco or other catfish?

The M.Iheringi would predate on any pleco fry but smaller species of pleco could go in without problem - like the blue-eye ancistrus. A shoal of something like lemon tetras or bleeding hearts would be good as would tetras of similar size.

A lot depends on how you set the tank up - a thin layer of sand (1cm)with some stones, bogwood pieces with anubias, java fern or bolbitis, fine branches and terracota saucers as caves would allow microglanis, farlowella, and a couple of shoals of tetras for example
