hello everybody i was just wondering what kind of fish go with a common plec
pls give me an idea on what to put in because im really confused commonplec.jpg
 
Quite alot... all dependent on your tank size really as your pleco has the ability to grow upto 2ft long!
 
It depends on the tank size, a common pleco will need a large one too btw.

Matt beat me too it :shout: lolol.
 
Yes, common plecos should have at least a 6*2*2 ft aquarium because of their size. Plecos are territorial, so compatible fish with a full sized adult common pleco include almost all *common* aquarium fish except discus (whose tasty skin mucus plecos apparently take a liking to) and other plecos (due to aggression). In an aquarium which is big enough, common plecos can be kept with other plecos, but I would not recommend that this is attempted in anything under 10*2*2 ft in size.

Another thing to consider is that plecos are cave dwelling fish, so a single common pleco should have a choice of 2-4 caves, ideally.
