I currently have a 7" Scarlet L25, and a 6" Xingu Royal L27 in a 144g with rock caves and a large piece of wood. These two get along fine (after the first night).

I'm thinking of adding a 7" Blue Eye Pleco to this mix but am wonder how big a gamble it might be with aggression, or does it depend on the individual BEP ?

Have read conflicting opinions on Blue Eyes, safe bet or not ?
 
I don't known of any reason to consider Panaque cochliodon/suttonorum any more aggresive than any other Panaque species. I've found that up to 30cm they're fairly placid, it's only my 40cm Panaque nigrolineatus that I would consider aggresive.

They're is a dietary confict between those fish though.
 
Thanks for the quick reply, I thought as long as I provided enough of a veggie diet, NLS waffers, zucchini, sweet potatoes, the L25s carnivore diet would not be a concern.

Now I'm wondering if the available meaty foods will be bad for the panaque long term ?
