Not all plecos are peaceful, adult common plecos are known to be quite aggressive

I have 4 angels, one large plecko, a large catfish, a shark catfish, 4 Tetras, 6 ghost catfish, one large parrot fish and 2 others that I can't remember their names (yes that's very shitty) but they all live very peacefully together oh and I have 12 snails again I can't remember the name of these ones.
I think it depends on the tank sometimes and how its decorated but they call go wherever. None have dominated a area as their territory. But I also change it around at least every 1 and 1/2 to 2 weeks.

do not house anglefish with discus, discus ore peaceful fish on the other hand angle fish are aggressive and the angle fish will hurt or even worse kill the expensive discus

Mine lived together for 3 years peacefully until dicky the discus died on transport when we moved and we moved them professionally, I've owned fish for 30 years and work in a tropical fish and cold water fish wholesalers for 15. It just depends on the tank and the fish's personalities. Oh and I've got 7 other species in that tank with my angels and again they're all laid back with each other.

what a BS video! really? a snail is a good tank mate? A Discus is not a good tank mate for angels as Angels will try to dominate this fish and a Pleco can feast on your Angels large flat body (eating the slime layer) Cory catfish are a great choice though.

Few points I disagree with:

1) don't add Malaysian trumpet snails unless you want an infestation. They will rapidly multiply and destroy the tanks ecosystem if left unchecked. They are almost impossible to get rid of.

2) Plecos get huge. Don't add them unless you have a 4-6ft tank.

3) Angelfish can be aggressive towards other Angels. Not sure about Discus, as I've never had them. It's up to the individual really, some are more aggressive than others.

4) I can agree with the corydoras. I have two in my current tank because the rest of the school died (I'd had them for about 3-4 years), but they like to be kept in groups of 3-6. My Angel will come over and pick at them, but they're quick swimmers so if you have somewhere for them to hide they'll be fine. They need to be fed specific algae wafers - they won't thrive on the stuff that the angels don't eat alone.

And also, most corys need carnivorous food, not just algae wafers

1. Not all plecos get huge and need a giant tank, there are bristlenose plecos and clown plecos that are suitable for smaller tanks then 4-6 feet.
2. Corys don't prefer to be in groups of 3-6, 6 is the minimum for corys, but preferably more. 3 is not good for them, they will get very stressed and be unhappy.

+Brianna Harter (star and fox) When i here the word pleco i always think of the big black ugly ones, i just recently git a spotted cory cat that i actually like.. I was just nevef a big fan of the bottom feeders or sucker fish, but i needed somthing to clean up the bottom of my tank better than what the snails were doing... So not all are as bad looking as i thought..
Brianna Harter
Brianna Harter - 7 years ago
really it's only the common pleco that's butt ugly there are a ton of plecos that actually look good and won't grow to be 20 inches plus(seriously why do they sell common plecos?).

like the leopard frog pleco,longfin bushynose pleco and the Starlight Bristlenose Pleco.all these look good and actually fit in most tanks unlike the giant butt ugly common pleco.



corries actually do look good in huge shoals especially the emerald cory which are metallic green.

My angel fish aren't very high action they mostly stay to them self's very calm fish which i'm lucky to have i have had previous fish to the tank and they left them alone and let the other be the dominate fishes of my tank i have a soft flow in the tank also but i would need to get something for the acidic Ph in my tank i asked the man who sold me the fish (he's a breeder not a person from a pet store i only get my fish from people who have experience with the animals) he said i would be able to get discus but keep an eye on them for awhile to make sure they are okay in the tank i have another tank to re home them in at my house encase it doesn't go well for them in the larger tank but i would want to test it out to see how it would work but thank you for the advice :)

To answer your question, i wouldn't put discus in that tank. They like soft, low-flow water and a very acidic ph. They also can best stressed in a high-action tank.

Discus, along with a large price tag, get very large, and require very specific care. The debate of putting angels with discus is as old as the hobby itself, but can be done, given a lotof experience

I just set up a new 10 gallon tank with live plants, two young anglefish (2 inch high), 7 neon tetras, 3 Kahlu loaches, 2 bristlenose caatfish and some snails that came on the plants. This is working really well. (Only will the fish are young I will upgrade the tank when their bigger.)

Jobe Berends you'll need to upgrade soon... doubt the angelfish would grow up comfortably in a 10gal, though a 40-55gal should be good for all of them there

I enjoyed your video! If I may offer a couple suggestions:: Some LFS clerks may not know to advise new aquarists that many of the most common plecos can become quite large (10"+/-), & lazy (inefficient algae cleaners) Bristlenose plecs, however, remain great at cleaning, are full of personality & max out at 4" to 5"
Also, on mixing angels & discus - bc of potential microbe incompatibility (more prevalent w/some delicate discus strains) perhaps research. to avoid problems

My top 5:
A school of Serpae Tetras, Opaline Gourami, school of Corydoras, Rainbowfish, and Plecos.
My Opaline Gourami is probably my favorite freshwater fish right now so, can't leave him out of any of my lists lol.

I also keep my Angelfish with a school of Serpaes, cories, pleco, and an opaline gourami. I recently had a massive tank crash and lost half of my fish, luckily most of the serpaes, cories, angelfish and my opaline gourami survived, so I'll be restocking with more cories and serpaes, maybe try to breed my opaline, and get some rainbowfish. Also, most snails (in my experience) are good tank mates with angelfish. My ramshorn infestation ruined my life, but my angelfish don't care about them, so I'm getting dwarf chain loaches to take care of the situation lol.
