Tankmates for Leopard Sailfin Pleco

[ashleigha]

Hi, I am new to the forum. I recently purchased a Leopard Sailfin Pleco (approximate 20cm long) and it is in a 6' x 2' x 2' tank. I would just like to know what some suitable tank mates would be. I currently only have the pleco and 2 small bristlenosed catfish. Thanks in advance for any advice.

Pretty much anything. I keep one in african tanksand sa/ca.

Plecos should be kept in softer water. These sail fins are pretty laid back so most fish go well with them. It really depends on what you want. Find out then ask is them best way to go about it.

I would avoid African Cichlids...esp Mbunas.

mbunas never bother mine....even wild caught ones.

Hey - thanks for the advice. I have read about African Cichlids eating their eyes

I was hoping to get some Clown Loaches - would this be okay?

um why not a south american cichlid like a green terror

How about a few redhook silver dollars or even a few blue hooks. They would all be from the same river system. Those plecs are pretty mellow and hardy.

CLs sounds like a good idea and maybe a school of silver dollars
