Multiple Xantos

[nomad]

Can two L056y chubby/xantos coexist peacefully in an 125g ? thnx
Also if I will add a smaller L014 later would be a problem ?

...just realized that I didn't post this in the pleco forum .....mods, can you please fix this ?

 

[nomad]

Anyone guys ?.....I just want to avoid some costly mistakes. Should I give up on the idea of adding an L014 since they might stress the xantos with their agressive nature ?

L014 arent that aggressive. just provide lots of hiding spots

Why not? Give them enough space and you can add more. I've had 4x L56 in a tank before with a few 114s. They can get along with each other but the 114s .

they should be fine, just provide caves and wood like you would for any plecs and they should coexist just fine. maybe a little chase once in a while but thats common in almost all plec tanks.

Maybe have a second tank set-up just in case the two don't get along (or a divider)...

I would say do visual blocks on the ground and tons of caves/hiding spaces and currents on both sides of the tank and they're gonna be just fine after they establish who's the alpha and where it wants to be the other one can simply find many other areas to chill in.
