Pleco + Piranha

[piranha_tim]

So I own a piranha and for the longest time I have accepted this is the only type of fish I can have in this tank until one day

I hear from multiple sources a pleco would be ok in a tank with Piranha's

I am considering the Pleco if this fish wouldn't be living the life of fear. OR the pleco doesn't put my piranha in the life of fear.

1. Has anyone ever tried this before?
2. what would you think the introduction size would have to be?
3. what pleco options am i looking at?
4. When older could a pleco live of the diet of shrimp mussells or squid it is what is going in the tank for the piranha.

I am trying to be smart and educate myself on the possibility before I jump into anything.

In both videos it seems to be 1 type of Pleco can anyone identify?

Can anyone vouche for a Pleco being a good fish to own in general?

I thinks its a Pterygoplichthys gibbiceps.

Gibbiy's IMO are too large for a 75g.

Yes, these fish can be kept with piranha, I personaly have seen gibbiys and prianha getting along fine. I'm not sure if all types of pleco get on with piranha though...

What dimentions are your 75g?

All the best
