how many plecos can I keep in a 220g

[peathenster]

Hi - I recently set up a 220g SA/CA cichlid tank and am planning to add some albino longfin bristlenose plecos. I guess I should be able to add more than one since these guys don't get too big.

How many do you think I can/should keep? I doubt that they'll be a bio load problem, but do they get along?

Thanks!

They get along. What kind of fish do you have in there so far? How big?

The plan is to keep them with some relatively peaceful fish, like severums, juruparis, etc.

They are currently in my 120g, and seem to completely ignore the 3" common pleco in there.

Need to decide on the number in the next two hours - help!

Ok that will work. I'd say you can get 9 successfully. They're the only bottom dwellers in the tank, right? If you can, try and get 3 males 6 females.

Wow I was actually worried if 3 would be too many. Thanks!

Naa. In a 220? What's the dimensions?

If you do get 3 males though, make sure their caves are not near eachother. Have 1 cave in the middle, one on the left and one on the right side of the tank.

Yes a 220 can easily handle ten BN.
