Looking for very specific Pleco

[Docock]

I have a 90P ADA aquarium, good amount of driftwood, lots of plants, and community fish (green neon tetras). I would love to add two types of slow catfish and one pleco. Could you guys help me pick out good fits?

Right now I really like the idea of Red lizard catfish L010a, Royal Farlowella, and a sultan pleco. Would these work?

Thanks

I think I would pass on the carnivorous Sultan pleco. But the other two should be fine.

Agree with Narwhal72

[Docock]

Is there another pleco I can add that is white and black that would fit better?

[Docock]

Why would you pass on the Sultan Pleco? Would it eat the other fish? Other sources, says that they are slightly territorial, but mostly peaceful?

Leporacanthicus can be pretty destructive. They are known for eating silicone out of aquariums and tearing apart driftwood. Their fang like teeth are adapted for digging into wood to pull out insects which they eat. They will prey on shrimp and small fish that they can catch.

They also aren't white and black. They are gray with black spots?

The ultimate white and black pleco is the Zebra pleco (Hypancistrus zebra) but it likes warm water and may not be best with plants. There are a number of wormlined Hypancistrus that would be better. L333 is a color form that should do well.

L333 would be perfect for that tank. They are also close 'black and white' if maintained properly other than that L066 or similar.

Mine would chew on the base of amazon swords and destroy the plants.
