No one can give you a right awnser because Ps are very unpredictable fish.

Welcome to MFK!!!

I saw a special on the amazon that had a shot of a school of Ps tearing up a giant pleco. Looked like they were hollowing out a log. From that I'd have to say 'not a good mix'.

In my tank i have 6 p's. going on 2 yrs now. I introduced a pleco when i got them. then about 4 months ago i got another one.. a baby . Due to the fact that my now large pleco was lazy as heck.. it wouldn't do anything but clean the bottom of the tank. After i got the new one the larger one started doing its job.. maybe b/c it got jealous or fear of being replaced. I introduced another one b/c my cousin was moving. his life lasted 15 min until it was eaten. They have alway faught with the large pleco, he just goes crazy and knockes them around with his body. So i guess as long as your pleco defends himself. He should be fine

It's tru. ^^^

It's a chance you take when you house anything with piranha's.

my opinion:

just put it in.

if they ate the pleco, tough luck

if not, then thats good. just try to feed them regularly and dont starve them

 

[Psycho]

Welp i guess my questions was answered they ate all 5 remaining rosies and my plecto..... SAVAGES!

that sucks... then again what do you expect. anything will become food. its just a matter of time.

When keeping Piranha well fed, yes you can keep plecos of equal size with red bellies. I have tried it with Gold Spilo Piranha, Black Piranha and Piraya with no success!Always remember that ALL species of Piranha are unpredictable.

i think they are very predictable- i predict that everything is lunch and almost always it is!
