I’ve got a common pleco about 10 inches now in a 70 gallon tank and I was wondering would an electric blue crawfish be ok to house with him? I know they are known to be very aggressive but I wasn’t sure if the size of the pleco would prevent him from being attacked. I’ve also heard some people have them live in peace and have seen mixed opinions on it.

Ive had crayfish with plecos for about 2 years now. they seem to be good. when the crayfish starts to bother my pleco it just swims away and hangs around on the glass.

but as we know each fish/crayfish is different. I would do it personally tho.

Would assume it’s ok depending on the temperament of the crawfish, but I would keep an eye,
