I just recently purchased a L046 pleco, it is an 1'' long or so, now its in my 20 gallon quarantine tanks, waiting for it to grow bigger to put in my 50g main pleco tank. In the main tank stock LDA30, L200, 2 L129, 4 L018, and small L114. It is fine if I put in the L046 into the main tank with my other plecos?

I'd personally advice against it. They are very laid back and will not fight others for food. But since I've never tried to mix them....let's see if anyone has had success doing it.
^^ Ive never but wouldn't based on this. Terrible competitors for food and they are primarily carnivorous. Best tank mates for zebras are more zebras.
And also they require high temps and pristine water conditions. This generalyl rules most pleco's out as tankmates. Just my $.02
Oh....pics!
The L18 and 114 both are good for temps even into the 90's the others are from columbia and like low 80's to high 70's for temps. I would not put a single L46 with these other plecos, it will eventually starve.
Definately a no no, as per advise from others too. I nearly starve 3 of my zebras when I put them with my 114s while I was waiting for my new zebra setup to cycle.
