will a L200 be fine in a bristlenose breeding tank
I should be getting an L200 soon and was wondering if it would be safe in a tank with a breeding colony of bristlenose. The reason I'm thinking of putting him in that tank is that tank gets gets an assortment of vegetables.
Also I was told that L200s can be sensitive to high calcium levels and if that's the case I may have to try a different tank because I've got crushed coral in a media bag in the tank because the tank also has breeding mystery snails

Depends on the size of the fishes involved.
I would also recommend getting more than one L200. Plecos enjoy some company.

the L200 is 6-7" and the bristlenose would be newborn fry to 4.5" in that tank are also L425, L169, and clown pleco. If he won't work in a bristlenose tank he will end up in a tank that has several bichirs, a afer knifefish, a small fire eel, a L190, a L027a, and a L264

I personally never seen a l200 7" I have a tank full of them and they range 5-6" lol but on a side note I wouldn't trust any pleco that big with small fry for several reasons bullying, or not letting the smaller guys eat.
