maybe more then 1 of each

blue phantoms

green phantoms

gold nuggets

idk the correct name but the jet black with white spots...
 
I may have to go back and check but I thought Gold Nuggets were carnivores. It doesn't matter either way anyway though because you could just offer both kinds of food. Blue & Green Phantoms are the same except for color and are easy-going Plecs. Mine's a real gentleman with all the other Plecs. The black with white spots? A Vampire?

The one in question would be the jet black with white spots.. to many pleco is under that description.. some are aggressive some arent'...

But i think you'll be ok.. most plecos that are the meat eating aggressive time are too hard to find...

Green, blue phantoms are really the same fish.. just diff color.. Gold nugget's diet is similar to the others.. you just have to make sure everyone gets the food..
 
There are 2 green phantoms Baryancistrus demantoides and Hemiancistrus subviridis. Hemiancistrus subviridis is the one you can say might be the same fish as the L-128/blue phantom.


You should have no problem keeping them together.
 
I would guess the black with white spots is the vampire or galaxy pleco: L007. They are most commonly available pleco on the market with that description. (However, mine has dots that are more yellow than white.)

Though occasionally I'll see snowball plecos L-142/LDA-33, or adonis (Acanthicus adonis) available too, and they fit that description.

Planetcatfish has a great pictoral catelog. Maybe you can id it from the pics?

Depending on which fish it is, you may need a bigger tank.
 
I have 50 plecos of all kinds in a 450 gallon with tons of wood and caves.I see no aggression between any of them.As long as they have the caves,wood,and space i see no problems.
