What do ya'll suggest? I'm already planning to get some Ancistrus sp(3). Any others that are easy to breed and have larger fry?

Also, I was wondering if pl*cos would breed in a pl*co community, with two or three species spawning in the same tank.

Whilst I'm pretty sure you can combine fish of different species in the same tank, it can cause several problems:
1. You can't "manage" that particular fish without affecting the others - you may want to be feeding extra protein so that one fish is conditioned to spawn - so all fish gets extra protein! Same if you lower the temperature or make water chemistry changes to make one pair breed - all others will have to have the temperature/chemistry changes, whether they are "ready" or not.

2. Territorial disputes (e.g. all mature males want to have _the_ best cave, food disputes, etc, are more likely if you have several different species - of course, this is POSSIBLE to avoid by careful selection of species, but it makes life harder.

3. It very much restricts which species you can keep - they need to all have the same (or similar) requirements for water and furniture (temp, pH, hardness, circulation, plants/no plants, substrate type(s), not be too aggressive to other the species, etc, etc).

Ok. Thanks.

Do you know some easy to get and breed species that don't get too big?

Well, Ancistrus sp(3) is the obvious candidate. For the larger tank, you may want to try a .

Other genus that are RELATIVELY easy to breed are and .
