bichir pleco...get along

[vicedretard]

will an albino bichir and an albino pleco be okay in a 55gal or should it put them in at least a 75gal...or bigger??

Dangerous mix, plecos often develop a taste for slime leaving the fish prone to infection and disease. Slow moving fish such as bichirs won't fight back either, they'll just take it and then regret it when theyre dead.

i woldnt do it....

i had my ornate in with my L-200 for 8 months before the pleco tried to suck on the bichir. then i had to sperate them. i hought they were fine together, i was wrong....


i juts wouldnt risk it, bichirs r cooler than plecs newyas

oh ****

its something i wouldnt recommend. might get away it if it is a albino bristlenose, but even then it might get eaten due to size. i would imagine all the other albino plecos you'd have problems with. its a nice idea, but not practical

 

[mcblack]

don't recommend it, for me I don't really need a pleco in the tank, if your really want a pleco move it to a seperate tank

risky i have a pleco with mine but its a big pleco with a small poly but no problems... yet

i have a rhino pleco with mine that doesnt bother the polypterus at all, just grazes on the driftwood
