I have a planted 90g, it has a pair of Red jewels (which always eat their fry within 3 days of free swimming), a dozen neon rainbowfish, and a pair of Albino BN plecos. Temp: 27C, Ph: 7.1-7.5. Lots of caves/driftwood.
I would like to add another pair of plecos to the mix.
I think I have it narrowed down to L134 "Leopard Frog", or L333 "yellow king". But I keep finding very different opinions as to temperament and ease of breeding.

I want a pair that don't grow too big, will breed occasionally, and get along with the BN plecos.

I would love L46, but I hear they need a high temp, around 83+.

Any thoughts?

Thanks in advance
 
If you are looking for fish that are easy to breed between the 2 types you mentioned the L-333 would be the one to go for.

They should be fine with the BN's. The only problem I see is the BN's might out compete them for food.
