In search of Leiarius
Such as red tailed cats, tiger shovel-noses etc.
 
If this is a repeat thread I apologize, I couldn't find anything similar in my search.
 
I have a common pleco in with mine, but he's an unusual fish, they're usually very aggressive with other catfish but mine doesn't bother anyone. The one I had before did though and he needed to be moved to a diff. tank.
 
It really depend on the size of the pleco vs size of the TSN/RTC's mouth.

Definately start with a larger pleco; and constantly watch their growth rate. RTC/TSN can and will out grow the plecos.
 
When I had my RTC and TSN I kept two huge sail fins with them. I never seen any problems between them.
 
I was about to make the exact same thread :D:D:D I was gonna ask could i put an Royal Panaque in with a TSNxLei. The TSNxLei is 8'' and the Panaque is about four but if the Panaque is Max size at about 12" i doubt he will do. Any other Super Duper Nice Pleco's out there? The Scarlet Acanthius is on My List :D 'Sorry for any mispellings with the Scarlet plec'
 
Question revision for clarity.
Any plecos that are kept with catfish that get over 1.5 feet, and how do the plecos get along with large catfish.
