    Blue Phantom Pleco L128

    Plecos question

    Opinions please? I have always been under the impression you canā€™t keep multiple plecos together but when I watch videos or ask others they have multiple plecos. Some more info would be good as I would love to have another pleco in my tank. Thanks in advance.
