I think you should choose between one pleco and the other. If your pleco is a "Common" Pleco it will need a 55g. Other then that, I think you should be okay, but I'd get a second opinion in case I missed something ^_^

Karl,

For me it would be too crowded. I would say start with the most favorite on each region of the water and then see if it feels right to add more.

Question: Why only 1 Dwarf cockatoo cichlid and not a pair?

About the pleco: I don't know about this L-number scheme, so maybe there is a difference between L0001 and L001, but here is a Link to the latter.

Hope this helps,

Ingo

pleco looks like that one LF, i meant L001 (got carried away with the zeros)
been told it will grow to 6-8inches
not a common! see picture below for mine

only got one dwarf cause the LFS don't stock them anymore so can't get female, another lfs is getting one in for me.

i'm only asking as i'm getting a load of amano shrimp delivered for my 70G and wondered if i could move my cories back into the 40g.

they will be fine in the 70G just makes it easier to feed them in 40g cause no shrimps to pinch the pellets.

i might exchange to swords in, that will leave some room.

Cheers
