i am re-arranging tanks & moving some of my BN and pleco`s about and wondering which ones are compatible with each other to go into same tanks etc.

stock to be moved:
adult trio of browns,
adult pair of browns,
adult pair of albino,
adult L204,
adult L002,
sub adult L134,
sub adult L114,
2.5" super red,
2" clown pleco,

How many tanks? how big tanks? Etc. Some plecs like the L002s like more wood in they're diet, L134s can tolerate a bit more protein. I wouldn't keep breeding bn with adult plecs as there would be competition for caves. So maybe is go for trio, pair commons and pair albinos own tanks and rest in they're own tank... Hard to say without more info

yeah, i think we need a bit more info Smile

As Kfenk said there are some differing needs there that you need to consider. You would be looking at a large tank, I would be suggesting at least a 6ft tank with that lot. They are all bottom dwelling fish and need their own space.

Not to mention you will need a large filter to deal with all the poo Very Happy

cutting down to only two tanks.
a 2.5ft and a 5ft.

fluval 3plus internal and external filters running are fluval 405 and 2x eheim 2078 pro3.

i dont mind trying to rehome any that are not compatible.

thanks
