Panaque nigrolineatus are herbivores so unlike othe pleco species should be fine
just watch for any agression as you should when adding any fish together-Anne

[David R]

Pardon? Plecos can't bother polys? Right.

Bichir slime is like candy to some plecs

If u want the royals to be healthy... I wouldnt.... Plecos need other tank mate that dont bother their level of food chain...

Plecos actually learn from each other and their environment.. And is best to limit the bottom feeder to only one kind of speices....
