Hi, Can I have pleco and corydoras in a planted tank?? We are setting up a 6ft soon and wish to have plant and the above fish and discus in the tank but just curious about whether the 2 will destroy the plant/gravel??

Thanks in advance. :wink:

I suppose what kind of pleco,Corys are ok unless you want to grow some grass Then they can be a bit of a problem.

Currently have a sailfin ~12cm and a common plecoo ~18cm (but will swap him to some smaller one soon). Also looking to get some L168 and other.

Will they we OK??

I had common pleco in my planted tank once, they damage the plant's leaf.

If you want algae eater for planted tank use ottocinclus (spelling?) or whiptail.
