I just put my new Adonis into a my 6'x2.5'x2.5' and wanted to know what there character is like?

I have a new Tigrinus in there also and 2 Peacock bass and 1 CK.
Will the Adonis get on with the Tig?

Do Adonis attack or try to suck the slim coats of other fish?

I know the are mainly a carnivorous pleco but are they nasty to tank mates?

I removed my 40cm Gibbie because I heard that Adonis do not get on well with other large Plecos.

What experiences and advice to other Adonis owners have to share regarding tank mates, behaviour and feeding?

The adonis is not a strict carnivore. They do better with an omnivorous diet. I would worry about the clown knife and p bass stressing the adonis. The two cats should be fine together, but adonis can be fairly aggressive with other bottom dwellers.
