in my community 125 gallon tank I have 30 cories of 6 species, 2 Bristlenose plecos, 2 large L-200, 1 L-204, 5 L-75, and a dozen fry of L-129 and L-201 and they get along great-- my guess is it boils down to which plecos do you want to get?

yeah which specific plecos are you keeping there? slower eaters like some hypans will get outcompeted by a lot of other catfish, so it may not be best to mix them. they will eventually starve.

bristlenose plecos compete well with just about anything though. no big catfish.
