is there anything i can keep with my RBP's?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I think what everyone is saying is no, You may be able to have something in there for while but eventually..........
 
you people could take the time to read the thread joshy has generesly prepared, in the pinned section., i mean are you guys blind?, its right there.
 
So far i've had success with keeping a large school of tetras or danios with the juv i have. i know they will eventually pick them off but id it does help them feel more secure and id rather have them pick off dithers rather than each other.
 
I would suggest other pygos, or plecos. I've had luck with both situations.
 
i put 2 pleco in my tank with 4 rbp. one was like 2in long and the other one was like 6in long. i have a bunch of plants and hidin places. my p's were like 2 to 2 1/2inches, and they straight up killed it. i dont think its a good idea. but the little one is still alive.
 
I had four rbp in a 80 gallon 2@12" and 2@8" and the only fish that lived the entire time was a striped rapheal only because he hid the whole time he lived in the tank. I went through larg jd's, green terrors as large as 8", and red lobsters. The longest living fish was a 16" pleco toward the end he started to look a little sick and then only his sail fin and his sucker was left. I have been told that rbp once they get a taste for plecos they have a tendency to want to eat them.
 
i have a very large pacu,very large pleco, and a pair of oscars in with 3 RBPs and they've all been fine. at first i noticed the fins on one of the oscars were a little torn but theyve been fine for quite come time now.
but as stated by another, you neverreally know whats gonna happen, i hate to say it but its kinda trial and error.
