Got these 2 plecos last weekend and I think the L14 is on the verge of being added to the LSNs menu. I didn't realize how small the L14 pleco was.

What do you guys think? Will the L14 end up as food? Do I need to remove the LSN? I haven't seen the Lima strike at it yet, just gets real close and thinks about it...

It's like fish roulette!
Given enough time your Lima may try a "Scobi-snack"!
The trouble may be with the pleco going into defensive-mode and getting stuck into your Lima's throat.
It may work, but if you got the chance, replace the Lima.
Better safe then sorry!
I got one small Ancistrus living in the monstertank, with my gar and oscar.
But he's very aggressive and has got a nice cave to hide in.
 
Yeah Lima is going back to LFS soon :( Might get a few small pictus, or get nothing, not sure yet...

Don't want the pictus to compete with my plecos for hiding spots/food though (have one 4" L-264 sultan, one 2 1/2" L-114 red-tailed leopard, and one 2" L-14 goldy pleco) in a 6ft 125g.
