Is it a good idea to put a pleco 6-7" in my 120 gal with a 10-11" largemouth bass? Will the pleco survive or be thought of as dinner?
Largemouth and Pleco?

Not going to do it. Pleco was for free; he'll stay at the pet store.....bass seems to be thriving and pretty happy in 120. Will his diet of goldfish and crayfish lead him eventually to a 240?

Provided your water quality is good and a diet of feeders dose not lead it to an early death I see no reason why your largemouth shouldn't continue to grow but I would say you're probably good for awhile with the 120g, wouldn't hurt to get a larger tank now though.
Good move skipping the plecostomus, though I honestly doubt there would have been a problem between the two unless you have a particularly aggresive largemouth.
most fish ignore pleco's. ive even seen big piranahs in with plecos. ive got a 9" gar and a 5" pbass with a 2" chocolate pleco and no one even looks at him.
LOL! keep in mind that LMB is the king of the lake, they got nothing to worried about besides a 30 pound or 40 pound catfish/striper to swallow them.
well in my state, there's no muskies and pikes nor gar
I guaranteed you that a pleco won't survive for long. If they can eat a baby duck a live, there's no problem eating a pleco with those spiky fins.

I think you're right, big_one. I can see my lmb snatching up the pleco as soon as it makes its way in the tank..
