What's the best Pleco to put with rays???

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
hmm how about a magfloat and feed a little less ;)
 
In my opinion no pleco is good at keeping the glass clean. Most of your fancy plecos like royals just like to poo all day and make a mess of your tank. If you want looks get a gold nugget, mango, sunshine, or L200 and get a nice piece of driftwood. They will hang out of the driftwood most of the time and not bother your rays. I personally like the L200 lemon lime, they are more active and will swim around the tank.
 
I use bristlnose with orbingyi and retics but the motoros eat them in between large meals. :screwy: Damn things never get enough.
 
leopard sailfins work really well, it has never taken any food from my ray and keeps the tank nice and clean. The also grow very fast.
 
Ever think about a nice gang of Clown Loaches? I have 7 in with my Motoro's and they keep everything pretty clean and actually like to sleep upside down on my rays when the rays bury themselves under the sand. They are quite the site to see. Maybe try and fin some around the 4'' or 5'' size.
