Getting Along W/ Bristlenose

[Jake Jackson]

I had 2 brisltnose plecs in my 55 gal and recently moved one to a 20 gal. I was wanting to add another one, but I was worried about established territory. Also was considering a different kind of plec, like a rubber nose or something. Just wondered whats the rules for keeping different species of plecs?

You should be fine adding another plec to the 55. Bristlenoses aren't too bad about territory and neither are most of the smaller plecs that would be compatible.

you can have a couple BN they are not aggresive at all in my expierence.

You should be fine adding another Pleco to your tank. We have 12 assorted Plecos in our 137G tank with no problems at all. Just make sure there are plenty of hiding places so they can establish their own territory.
