I have a really small one in my discus/pleco community. Its the smallest of all the plecos in there, but it holds its own. It eats pretty much whatever I put in there. Sinking pellets (usually for the discus/tetras), zuchinni, algae wafers, and shrimp pellets. The temp is 82 degrees (mostly for the discus but this doesnt seem to bother the plecos any) Pretty shy but that could be attributed to his size. Always hanging out on the driftwood pieces in the tank.
