almost all attempts at tankmates end badly there are few success stories. either the tank mate is predatory and eats the rbp's but more likely the other way around. large common plecos seems to have the most success but even then tanks that have been set up successfully for a year or two suddenly end up with no pleco. this is what ive read about in peoples posts and heard from keepers of rbp's.
saying that I did see a very large rhom in a huge tank with neons, guppies and platies. too much effort to chase such a small meal and thats the only reason it worked apparently.
