Bristlenose Plecos should I worry about PH

[Komodo]

I would like to add one or two Bristlenose Plecos in my lake Malawi aquarium.

How many do you think I should buy for a 104 Gallon, twenty fish tank?

Should I worry about PH issues?

They adapt very well to different PH levels, just acclimate them really well.

How do I acclimate the Plecos?

Are you referring to the way I keep the store bag floating for a time or is there something else? I thought since it was mentioned it was some other procedure.

Drip acclimate them, they'll do fine.

either do that and add a little tank water every 15 min for 3 or 4 times or better yet do what CCXGT said

Is there any other plecos that can be kept with Africans?

Most Plec's can be kept with Africans, people just use BN's because they stay small.
