I keep several pleco species with my discus small and large. But will have to be moved out of the discus tank eventually due to the higher temperatures. just last week I moved two gold nuggets and a 191 from my 125 planted discus to a different tank. The were showing less than normal behavior for more than a day so I decided to move them.
My 191 I've had for about 8 months or so and has grown about 2" very sexy as a juvie IMO
In his new home

Also I've never had any problems with Plecos eating other tank mates slime coats. Discus or otherwise.
I also agree about bristlenose being excellent tank mates
And able to tolerate the higher temps. Much more suitable tank mates IMO.

Yes Ok, I must say its some very nice Plecos you got there!
Whats the one on the last picture there? And what does IMO mean? (English isnt my first langauge)
I would have never guessed that there would be problems with the temperatures, if i ran the tank on 29 degrees, and took the plecos out during the warm cures, or what theyr called.
Thanks for the help!
