My question is this:

Can I have L-200 or L-239 with plants?

These are the plants i'm mostly curious about:
Anubias
Javaferns
Valisneria

I am currently setting up my 190 gallon tank, and i have lots of open spaces and plenty of driftwood and some rocks.
I am also getting a shippment of 75 plants (anubias and javaferns), and i might add some valisneria later on.

I've been reading and asking LFS and with fellow fishkeepers, and I allways hear conflicting answers regarding this species.

Some say they go well together with plants, others say the opposite.

Anyone here that cares to share their knowledge regarding these two plecos?
Because if they are compatible with those plants, then I am getting these as soon as my filter is finished cycling.
They are my absolute favorite catfish!
 
Shouldn't be a problem...had pretty much the same plants and I never had an issue with those plecos

Anubias and Javafern fine, especially if you attach it to wood near the upper parts of the tank.
There may be some digging/uprooting (or maybe eating) of the Val. Try planting the Val in a clay pot, that way it can be easily moved if it appears to be in an area with high pleco activity (to an area with less pleco activity).

They will all be attached to stones and driftwood, but most are not going to be very high up. Probably just a few inches from the substrate.

But I'm guessing just one or two of them will suffice, and I'll just be a good host and provide with a varied and consistent supply of food they like, in order to prevent them from finding the plants appealing.

Does this seem ok to you?
