pleco+crayfish???

[Bobtastic6]

is there any chance that my 7" common pleco could live peacefully with a crayfish in my 120g?

i added a 6 inch pleco to my 90 gallon two days ago and so far there have been no problems. my gut feeling is the pleco's skin would be too thick for the crayfish to damage.

Personally I wouldnt risk it. Ive seen crayfish do some nasty things to fish

youll be fine. ive had as many as 6 crayfish with as many as 4 plecos ranging in all sizes. just give the crays a variety of places to hide.

I agree.
Wouldn't risk it either. Takes one nip from the crayfish and you have a nasty injury on the Plec. And it could happen anytime.

Could take out an eye no problem

maybe a safer large shrimp like a west african giant fan shrimp would be better. just like their name suggests they have fan like hair instead of claws
