As the title says, I was just curious if there are Plecos that are completely or mostly safe for planted tanks.
The tank is (or will be, still in process of setting it up), a 120 gallon (5' long, 18" deep, and 26" tall) community tank. Tank will be as heavily planted as I can manage without forced Co2, but not completely packed from wall to wall either. Lots of large intricate pieces of driftwood courtesy of Lake Erie, and a fair amount of Lace rock, as I like how many of them come pre shaped like caves and tunnels.
Although it is a 120 gallon, I still don't want anything that gets too big, prefer 6-8 inch max size.
I just don't want to put a bunch of work into growing a ton of plants, only for a pleco to constantly much on everything. A little bit here and there is understandable, but if it's going to make up a good portion of it's diet, 9 won't bother.
If you can suggest some that may work, great. If not, that's ok too, plenty of other fish out there to choose from. Thanks!
