In 1 55g tank I have Mbunas and I love them. They are so smart and interesting and a joy every day.
I have a second 55g tank that I'm in the process of making an Angelfish tank.
Both are cichlids but vastly different fish, so they will always be separate.
Now, I just recently saw several fancy BN Plecos and I just love how they look. The fact that they eat algae is a bonus, but cleaning isn't the primary reason that I would love to have a couple in each of my tanks
Can a Fancy BN Pleco be in a tank with Mbuna and/or Angelfish?
I already have a regular BN in the Mbuna tank, but Jed could use the company and a little help.
I'm just wondering if the long fins on the Fancy BN will become an issue with either the Mbunas or the Angels?
In time I plan on getting a 75g tank for the Mbunas and a 90g for the Angels. But that won't be for 6 mo. to a year from now. So this is based on my 55g tanks. I'll worry about the bigger tanks when I have them.
Right now both tanks have a Common Pleco that I will be re-homing in a week or so. The Gold Pleco in the Angelfish tank is still doing great but he will soon outgrow the 55g as he has reached 13" already.
The brown Common Pleco that is in with the Mbunas isn't very happy living with Mbunas that steal his food. He's only 8" but I don't want to cause any stunting problems.
