What plecos / corys, if any, would be ok w/ EB J.Dempsey:

I'm looking at setting up a 75 gallon tank, currently finishing up cycling, with an electric blue jack dempsey pair and want to finish off the tank around them. They are much more mild mannered than the regular jack dempsey, in some cases folks I know have said they are not aggressive at all, but I understand my mileage may vary. A school of 8-10 serpae's for a dither fish up top.. and was possibly thinking about yoyo loaches for entertainment purposes, Not sure yet.

This tank is going to be a show tank in our bedroom, which is where we spend a lot of time these days, getting away from our younger children, when we can They are 1.5 and 6 and attached to the hip so when we get free time we like to sit with each other and getting this tank setup will give me an excuse to get her off the tv and watching a movie with me and let us spend more time together. So while this tank is something I like to do, I do have ulterior motives!

I would like to know what types of plecos/corys would be good looking and fun to watch in a tank of this size. The tank itself is 48"L x 18"W x 20"H. Plan on having a emp 400 and magnum 350 canister with a UV sterilizer attached.

I was thinking of Imperial plecos as my LFS has some for roughly $30 and they'll hold them for me if I want them until I have the tank fully ready for them. I'd love some input on them and various other good looking plecos as well, thanks The corys I was looking at are "C. MELANOTAENIA/OLIVE CORY"

Appreciate any advice on selection with them, thanks.

Discussion about this in another thread is ongoing - so perhaps we should not post in this thread.
