    Default Chaetostoma (Rubber lipped pleco) in discus tank.

    I am starting a 72 gallon tank and wish to make it primarily for discus. I have read that you need to be careful when choosing algae eaters etc. as they may attach themselves to discus. I already have two ottos. I used to earlier have Chaetostoma (Rubber lipped pleco) in my earlier tank and know that they are very shy and do a very good job of consuming algae. Does anyone have any experience or knowledge regarding keeping the rubber lipped pleco in a discus tank? Thanks.

    I have four of them in my 70gal fry tank. They are 3-3.5 in.
    and not very shy. They are fairly aggressive toward each other especially during feeding. That is when smaller discus are intimidated by them; other then that these plecos have very interesting behavior and do fairly good job keeping the tank clean.
