I´ve got a tank og 180 liters with a trio of L260 where the couple spawns now and then, a trio of L134 that needs a litle bit more growing to start spawning and 9 Cory Sterbais. I´m preety happy with my mixture and they go well together.

But now is the question. I´ve gotten the possibility of bying a 15 cmer L114 with beautiful colors, and I wonder if it can coexist with the rest of the plecs without any big figths?

I have an uppgraded Juwel filter and Fluval 4 filter, so that should´nt be a problem since i change the water a minimum of 1 a week.

Thank you for your opinions!

Pseudacanthicus can be a bit agressive. But if there is enough space and enough caves, and you keep an eye out, it's PROBABLY ok.

Hello

Well in a tank which is big enough for L114 it might work. As long as the smaller plecos don't use the pseudacanthicus cave once he gets home

But 180 litre is too small for a pseudacanthicus!!! Even with 15cm it's too small and that pleco gets 20cm in a year with good feeding and also becomes 30cm quite fast!!

Cheers Simon

I've tried it .... not with 114's but with 25's .....didn't work out. The Pseudacanthicus killed the others.

Thanks for the help. I will let that idea go. I migth get a L240 in stead...

I wouldn't keep shy hypancistrus together with more "agressive" fish.

Never had any problems with any pseudas and hypans together. just make sure lots of hiding spots.
