L027 aggression?

[Lizardking]

I´m doing research for an 240 l tank ( 120*40*50 cm) that will be a pleco tank. My q are : how aggressive are L027? some sources says that they can be aggressive towards their own kind and other plecos. True?

Yep, my experience is that there quite territorial against other pleco's and to some other fish (size difference helps to keep it minimal), but mine is easy going and hasn't hurt anyone, though he could have.

that is what I´m afraid of, since it will be in a rather small tank. haven´t decided on tankmates except for a female JD, but there will probably be Nuggets and such in the tank.I´m even considering an L046, and if I get one of those I certainly don´t want any aggression.

Ive always found royals to be quite peaceful. Ive had a few but ive always kept them in large tanks, but ive mixed them with other plecos. Overall id say peaceful.

Mine is in a tank with a chocolate and an albino without issues.
