Ive had mixed success with lecs and polys, ive never lost a poly but im infront of my tank a lot of the time and its been close once and ive been deeply concerned a few times, hence there currently is no plecs in my big tank but i would like to add one cos i love em. i have a few but they either go for slime or are to small to go in that tank so i was wondering if someone could help me with list of sp that are pretty safe bets for not sucking slime, thou my gibby does so is there a safe bet? as i swear ive read gibbys a safe bet before???
 
None of them will be a 100% safe plec. I have an L137 bruno, and adonis, and a common with my ornate, but my ornate is much larger than all the plecs.
 
Gibbys eat anything, and do seem to like the protein foods more and more as they age. It will always be hit and miss for you. Maybe a Panaque of sorts would work for you.
