Why not change from common pleco to bristle nose pleco? They are smaller hence produce less bioload

Already have a bristlenose what other plecos is there I could have

 

[Plecostmus 1234]

Firemouths doesn’t solve the problem of bioload, if anything it increases it. And it leaves you with a group of 8 fish that want to kill each other (even though fires are more peaceful). Reducing silver count helps but doesn’t fix the other problems with the tank.

What would be a safe number of silvers

What would be a safe number of silvers

Depends on what else you want in there.

I want
1 bgk
2 rope fish
1 senegal bichir
Maybe 2 pitcus
And a pleco

I wouldn’t do more than that, assuming it is a small pleco.

 

[Plecostmus 1234]

Is that no silver dollars then and also what pleco would you recommend preferably not a bristlenose

 

[Deadeye]

I wouldn’t add silver dollars. Rubber lip could work but honestly bristle is the best option.

 

[Plecostmus 1234]

Could I use a clown, royal and rubber lip pleco

 

[Deadeye]

Pick between clown and rubber.

 

[Plecostmus 1234]

I assume that means the Royal is fine but why do I need to choose? Bio-load? Aggression?
