if they are common plecs they get really bug really fats as you should know and 2 1 1/2 foot long plecs can look very out of place in a 55 gal or less
I've also found that whenever I have kept more than one common pleco in a tank, sooner or later I end up with just one . . . I don't know if it's pleco-on-pleco violence, or if one out-compete the other for food, but one way or another . . . I end up with just one pleco
I have only had this with common plecos; my smaller plecos seem to get along just fine . . .

i have 1 hi fin pleco, 1 common, and 2 rubber lip. They all do fine but i have seen a friends two 1.5 foot plecos fighting. I havent had any problems personally though.
well i am going to petco tomorrow to kinda re-amp my tank stock, and get some small things to restock my 30 gal tall via filtration, air bar-stone, back-drop, etc. so i was thinking of getting a second pleco for my big tank which already has a 7-8" common pleco in it and the second pleco would have been around 13-14" so maybe i should shy away from that and go with a different breed of pleco, what do you guys and gals think?
