Hi all,
I have a 75g tank with a couple of yellow labs, a striped raphael,an albino hoplo, a clown loach and a few clown barbs. I would like to purchase a medium sized L numbered pleco for the tank. Do you have any recommendations for a pleco that is outgoing, mainly herbivorous (cos I have plenty of driftwood and leaves scattered around), and tough enough to withstand a little harassment from the yellow labs? Here's a shortlist of what I've found online:

1.L168 orinoco butterfly

2.L18/ 81 golden nugget

3. L128 blue phantom

4.L75 pekoltia sabaji

Any thoughts on which of the above might be suitable or any other pleco would be most appreciated.
Thank you

I'd try the P. sabaji first. I've never owned one, but they seem pretty outgoing, diurnal and compatable. Down side is I know many (if not most) Peckoltia eat plenty of meat or are omnivorous. And I'd concerned about it's interactions with your loach as well.

I agree with naturalart. P. sabaji.

Cheers, Eric

Thanks Eric and Naturalart. I will try to look out for that one.

I agree with L-75 being best, as it is more outgoing than L-128. L-147 could also work, as it Will be similar but Smaller than l-75. I have had the species before.

I have L-128 with Malawis at the moment and it works. But they are not super active during daytime.

Thanks.
