Plecos are one of my favorite fish can I keep any with frontosa? I do plan on breeding the fronts when old enough if that helps thanks

As long as the Pleco can't fit in Frontosa's mouth....you are good to go.

The front shouldn't bother the plecos. A friend of mine has a few bristlenose in one of his front tanks. The fronts are a breeding group and they completely ignore the plecos. What kind of pleco were you thinking of keeping?

I love all plecos lol but then I wanted this to kinda be a more of a show tank then I've had in past so I was looking into black and white plecos to add some nice color I usually in past have kept bristle nose and my most favorite the common pleco so as of now I don't know lol open to suggestions

If you want color, how about green phantoms. They are one of my favorites. They also get large enough to no be bothered by the fronts. They're also not too expensive.

In my opinion the blue phantoms look better than the green

If you're adding the Pleco into a established tank you want to give the Pleco lots of places to hide.I would use PVC tubing until the Fronts get used to the new addition.

I currently have 3-4" fronts in my tank and one LFS pleco...the fronts completely ignore him. There are so many types of plecos and some have very specific requirements!

I've got 3 4" burundis with a 5" vampire and they all get along fine. They will compete aggressively once I drop in dried seaweed though.
