a large common pleco

Depending on how aggressive the RD really is, maybe.

In a 75 you could house a hypostumos punctatus, one of the "common" species would be fine. They don't get overly large. My small RD male left it alone in the quarantine tank.


Starting out with them together from the beginning gives you the best odds of having both fish live together. At least that has worked well with current RD and pleco living together now. Cichlids tend to ignore bottom dwelling fish as they get larger, but they tend to dislike new tankmates and can be extremely hard on them.

Wise words!
My Hypstomus is very bad ass if other fish disturb him and he chases my 10"+ Vieja away when he wants to eat his zuchinni.
Bad thing with other agressive fish could be the attacks on a plecos eyes.
That's what worried me mostly.
My Oscar and Vieja were introduced after the Hypostomus and I never had any real fights.
