I kept my male Maskaheros argentea in a 6ft x 1.5ft x 2ft tank, and once it hit 6" nothing else in the tank was safe from its alpha wrath.

I had an l600 with a pearsei and it didnt work. The pearsei got aggressive during feeding. They would fight and other than spilt tail fin there was no way for the pearsei to damage the pleco (full of spike just like yours) i ended up removing the pleco as the pearsei was causing to much damage to himself

I would be more concerned with that ebjd. If the argentea want him to go it wont last more than 2 seconds

Atm Ebjd is like the best friend never chase him never fight during a feeding like he did with severum.so I have remove severum and I have very peaceful tank for now

I have 2 8-10 inch Argentea in a 125 with 2 sunshine plecos that are about 3 inches and I haven't had any problems. I definitely would recommend hiding places for the plecos.

I'm amazed you have 2 Argentea that big in a 125. I have 2 smaller than that in a 540 and they don't get along too well. If I moved them to my 125, I don't think that'd work. You're very lucky.
