I would not add any more fish, as it looks like that tank is or soon will be overstocked. The common pleco alone will need more tank space for itself, and all of those other bottom dwelling fish are going to hog a lot of room once they're fully-grown. And when he gets to Heaven, to Saint Peter he will tell: "One more Marine reporting, Sir! I've served my time in Hell."

I plan on moving current live stock to new tank and turn the 55 gal into a pl*co tank. Looking to house a couple of LDA01, L002,LDA67,L134,L204,L133 pretty much anything that will be around 3 - 4 inch or less when fully grown. Starting the research early so I dont waste time and money.

Donkynutz Enthusiast Posts: 225 Kudos: 225 Votes: 2 Registered: 01-May-2005	Well iver personally never kept 2 plecos together cept for a albino bn and a chocolate pleco and they had their seperate logs to chill in, so there was no squabbling in betweeen them, but i was told b4 that u shouldnt house more than 2 species in a confined area, they said they will fight alot most likely to death!?!? i dunno how true that is but i was successful with the 2 dif ones in a 55 community. So id say maybe with lots and lots of dw and caves or other hiding places it could be possible but try not to put too many dif species in.
