Hello guys, long time no see. Anyways, just wondering if the common BN with get along with the peppered BN? I got 2 female commons BN and was thinking of adding a small male peppered BN. The peppered are 4 times in priced as the common thus I ask these questions.

Thanks

They should be okay, as long as you are positive that you have females. It doesn't matter what type of bn cats you have together, they are all similar in that males may fight with each other if they don't have enough space in the tank. The two commons should get along fine with the peppered, and hopefully, you'll see some fry come your way!

Not actually true. Depending on space availability, both males and females will fight, or rather, chase each other around a bit. Even if they do exhibit this kind of behavior, I think you should still be fine, as Bns aren't known to be particularly aggressive towards one another. As with all plecs, they are somewhat territorial, and there should be many crevices/rocks/driftwood where they can both set up territories.

If you have the space, driftwood & some hiding places, it would be fine to have the 3 Plecos together.

I don't see any problems.
