Which plecos do well with reticulated rays? I was thinking a royal pleco and a gold nugget pleco. Will they suck on the ray? The tank is 180 gallons and there is a large hunk of driftwood for the plecos.

just make sure that the plecos dont suck on, and stress out the rays. keep an eye out

More than likely the pleco will suck on the ray. Even with the driftwood and plenty of food, it can happen. I wouldn't chance it, but this is a fish by fish basis.

I guess I'm not going to put one in anyway. I'm pretty much fully stocked anyways because I bought 2 black ghost knives.
