L330 with Bristlenoses?
I'm thinking of getting some bristlenoses for my 125 gallon. It's currently inhabited by a few fish, but my concern is my 9" L330. I was wondering if there is the possibility that the L330 will bully bristlenoses? It leaves the other tankmates alone just fine, but since bristlenoses are plecs after all, I figure I'd make sure. Ample hiding places are available, with more than one piece of wood. I was thinking of perhaps getting a pair or trio of bristlenoses.

Re: L330 with Bristlenoses?
I wouldn't think it's a big problem. But make sure you observe them closely, both early on and later - things can change over time. Most plecos don't worry too much about significantly smaller plecos, in my experience.

I've got a 9" L330 and a 6" L330 in a 125 with other plecos of all various sizes including some zebras about 1.5" long and there is no problems to date. But do keep an eye on it.
