pleco that doesn't eat plants nor wood

[HarleyK]

Howdy all,

Once again, I'd appreciate your expertise:

I want to stock my 220 with a few plecos, but I like they way the tank looks right now. Meaning: I am not interested in plant-eaters, nor do I want a royal to shave off my driftwood. The wood is a hollow trunk that actually separates plant substrate from M3 colorquartz sand. Needless to say, I don't want that to mix by a pleco breaking thru the wood.

Another limit: I have a curious 8-9'' dat in the tank, thus, the pleco should reach a somewhat "unpalatable" size.

I have a king tiger pleco in there right now, but he loves my Anubias

Thanks a lot,
HarleyK

I like Scobiancistrus aureatus if you can find a decent enough sized one. Any of the large Pseuda's like aforementioned L025. Just stay away from the Panaques

Thanks, guys.

I inquired, and they are out of season right now. I'll simply have to wait ...
