Question on the Flame Pleco L024

[Mudfrog]

Anyone have experience with them? I hear they are territorial but to what extent? Any tips on keeping one?

Most Pseudacanthicus are more aggressive towards other plecos. I suggest either a lot of different hiding places or none at all. My L25 runs the show in my tank and has his spot picked out. It might help if your L24 is smaller than the other plecs you already have. check out http://planetcatfish.com/catelog/species.php?species_id=125
for some info.

It would be the only pleco in the tank, sharing it with a couple bichirs and a high fin wolf. So would it not be very aggressive to those?

I think plecos are more agressive then people say I have a common Bristle nose and it was destroying a larger senegal and oscar of mine so I had to move him, if he's the only pleco in the tank he will be fine I think this slightly more territorial pleco would be better with those tank mates because if anything where to happen it would be able to defend itself, But there are also stories of plecs sucking the slimcoat off bichir's bodies.

Knobhill is completely correct. Pseudas are pretty much exclusively aggressive to similarly shaped, similarly sized loricariids or other bottom feeders.
