Title: L 144 Compatibility
Post by: JeffroM on December 26, 2011, 12:37:49 AM: Are there any other plecos that I can put into the same tank as L144 plecos that will get along, won't cross breed and won't eat the L144 fry?

If I can't put other plecos in with them what would be good? And not eat my baby L144s?

I've bred 2 types of Ancistrus with other Plecos in the tank, but the other Plecos did not breed. Keep the caves as far apart as you can.

I don't believe L18 or L81 Gold Nuggets have been bred in captivity.
