I have a 90 gallon (imp) tank containing Discus, but want to have a collection of around 10 plecos to accompany them.

Could somebody please give me a list or some suggestions of suitable plecos??????

I have a l200, a l137, a l14, a l75 and a l66 in the same tank as my 10 discus. They pretty much leave the discus alone but I don't think the discus appreciate the squabbling among the plecos during feeding time.

Hi, I have about 13 pcs of discus with about 60 pcs of various plecos in one tank and I have no problem so far. The plecos generally leave the discus alone. But once, I noticed the common pleco going after the slime of the discus body in a lfs.

Sixty plecos in one tank?

Wow!

Are they small plecos? Or is it a big tank? Or both?
