Bristlenose Plecos

[peterp63]

Ok, I know plecos target ray disks when they're out of greens to eat (I've had a lot of experience trying to house them with my rays without success), but I was wondering if BN plecos might do better. They are known for eating algae very well, but I've never attempted to house them with rays. I figured i'd ask yous guys instead of trying again. My buddy has a pair of giants for sale.

Thanks!

Ur male ray isn't eating? How long have the plecos been with the rays? Any evidence of them sucking on the disks??

Ok, so BN plecos can be just as bad as other variants..... not a good sign.
