Managuense Cichlid and Gold Nugget Pleco

[Mavada]

Hey guys, I've been looking for information on this for a while and I really can't find anything anywhere. I have a gold nugget that will outgrow my 65 gallon tank. I want to get a Managuense Cichlid and I was wondering if I would be able to keep the two together in a 180 gallon tank or if that just isn't possible. I appreciate any advice!

It should be possible, it will come down to the jag's personality. My jag doesn't bother the catfish I have in my tank.

I had no problem introducing a gold nugget with a group of 8 large Managuense

just out of curiosity, how big is your gold nugget?

I personally would say no, but as mentioned, each jag is different.

Small right now. This will be once he grows out. I also don't have a Jag yet. This is for the future.

Alright cool, I'll just have to watch it as the Jag grows when I get one. If I see aggression I'll just have to get another tank, bummer! haha
