Bichers and Plecos

I have a rhino, a del and a weeksii in my 210g. The rhino will attack the weeksii but seems more territorial than anything else. I watch carefully to make sure it does not get out of hand but it is always a concern. I have an L114 that I plan on moving into the 210g and if it gets along better, I might move out the rhino. Its a risk but if you have lots of hiding spots and everyone is well fed, it may work.

I have 2 long fin sens, L114, 204 and starlight bristle in my tank. No problems ever.

I've had 5 rope fish (not the same, but close enough?) with 8 different types of plecos in a 180, no issues yet. Been running with that stocking for 6 months or so. I'm hoping it stays chill. There's some posturing at feeding, maybe a jab here and there but nothing that's done damage.

I have some large tanks with various polypterus in it at any given time with L25,L24,L27, L114,L14,L177, L253 among a few other types, I have yet to have any issues.. That is not to say you will not lol

I had my bichirs bite a Farlowella in half. Not a true pleco but just as armored.

I've got an L25, L96, and L97 in my tank and want to throw in some bichers. Anyone have issues with plecos sucking on their bichers?

All those plecos are fine with bichirs. I had those before with my bichirs and they do great.

My L114 is doing fine with 14 bichirs, with a syno to, also had two commons with bichirs before, no problems.
