Ambassador Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 I have a 110g stock tank with about 6 CPD's in it and I have 4 juvenile super red Bristlenose plecos arriving shortly. Any issue with combining the two other than the plecos eating any eggs the danios drop? I'd like to breed the plecos once they are old enough and can be paired off appropriately but I don't want to stress out the more skittish CPD's either. I was considering using a pond basket or a divider to keep them separate since the tank is so big but I'm thinking this is probably necessary. Thoughts?

anewbie Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 Naw they are compatible - just keep the temp near the top of the cdp range. The bn will spawn in a cave and once the frys leave the cave they are on their own - nothing to stress about as long as your tank is 16 inches or so tall (or taller); if it were a shallow aquarium chances are pretty good the cdp would stay out of the pleco cave.

Ambassador Posted October 31, 2022 Author Share Posted October 31, 2022 CPD are are 72-76 F and BN plecos are 72 to 82 right? Shoot for 75ish then? The tank is 51" by 38" by 21" tall. I have about 6 caves scattered around the bottom with some java moss to offer cover as well. Anything I should change? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colu Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 Bristlenose are fine with most small schooling fish I have kept mine tetras barbs gourami livebrearers never had any problems as long as you have plenty of cave's and wood for them they will be fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
