How Many?

[mattbond]

how many Green plecos for a 200 litre tank? are they agressive towards each other?

 

[Miah002]

You can have two or three.

 

[mattbond]

are plecos agressive towards eachother?

 

[Miah002]

You should keep really one species of plecos in a tank.

In your tank you can have no more than two males.

No more than four altogether. Try and get two male two females or 1 male three females

 

[mattbond]

how do you tell the difference? lol

 

[Miah002]

Green pleco are a type of bristlenose i think so you should be able to sex them when there 2 inches big.

Males will have lots of bristles.

Females will not have any bristles or if they do then it will be around the edges of the mouth.

 

[mattbond]

could you keep a blue phantom pleco and a green pleco peacefully together?

 

[Miah002]

I don't know.

I'll do some research and tell you.

A Green Phantom (L200) and Blue Phantom (L128) would be fine together in that size tank provided they have plenty of hiding places.
There is no reason you can't keep more than one species of Pleco in a tank together providing you have room and they can create their own territories.
I have 10 Plecs (8 different species) in a 5ft tank and they are absolutely fine.
Green Phantoms are not a type of Bristlenose and won't develop bristles.

This is a Green Phantom Pleco:

L200

L200

There are two types of L200, one getting slightly bigger than the other.
I've found them to be quite hardy, although the Blue Phantoms seem a little more sensitive.
