Sunshine Pleco and Common Pleco

[Anthony Williams]

Im looking to get a Sunshine Pleco but I was wondering if it would be okay to go in a 100 gallon aquarium along with my Common Pleco and Red Devil. My RD is currently 9in and the Common Pleco is 7in. I have never kept more than one pleco together but I do know that the common pleco can get up to 24in and can become somewhat territorial. I also don't want my RD nipping and bitting the fins of the Sunshine Pleco. Do you think this would be a good combination in the long run?

You would need a large Sunshine at 7" or more to be safe so it would be a risky $150 experiment.

I wouldnt trust the red devil espicially since the sunshines are expensive.

personally I think your common pleco will be fine with your sunshine. that red devil needs to go just to be safe.
