Breeding In A Community Tank

[-=Joel=-]

Hiya folks,

Something I wish to do is breed catfish. I have bought a group of breeding ansistrus and they are doing very well. However ...

I wish to keep a breeding pair / group of something in a 5ft community tank with discus, something a little less common.

Does anyone have suggestions to a plec in the 3 - 5 inch size that wouldn't eat plants or annoy discus ?

Also is it possible to have different type plecs in the same tank while breeding? I know my male bristle noses can be VERY bossy at times, but due to space and hiding spots they hardly ever meet one another.

Look forward to your help,

Joel

I know they cost a few quid to send not worried about that aslong as the price on fish is good lol.
