Some plecs have even been known to kill other plecs. If you give enough hiding places for your plecs, aggression may be reduced. I won't guarantee it, though; if trouble arises you should be prepared to separate your fish. Gold nuggets will not mate with bristlenoses. -------------------------------------------- The aquarist is one who must learn the ways of the biologist, the chemist, and the veterinarian.
