75 Gallon Tank Can i keep two BN plecos is a 75?

[Randomfishlover]

I am planning to stick my tanks as follows:
4 mystery snails
7 kulhi loaches
10 (to start with) ghost shrimp
10-12 male guppy
3-4 female molly
6-8 blackskirt tetra
(Maybe a small school of cory)
(Maybe a school of neons)
And 2 bristlenose pleco (one albino)

Can i keep these all together or is this not a good idea?

You can do it. I would suggest fairly strong filtration, but there is certainly room in the tank. Plecos are poop machines. There is a chance the black skirts will nip at the guppies, so you may want to consider that with your stocking. I am not a fan of plecos so I have not kept them with shrimp, so I'll let someone else speak to that.

I usually go by the inch per gallon rule, but sometimes that doesn't always apply to all fish. For example, one khuli loach needs around 15 gallons, and an extra 5 per extra loach. I'd keep that in mind. 75 gallons is a lot of tank room. I do think it can be done though. Just make sure you have strong filtration. Good luck with your tank!

Your title asked if you can keep 2 BN plecos in a 75g. Are you worried they will be territorial or will they get to big? They only get around 5" max and they should do fine in a 75g. Clown pleocs also stay small and get around 3"-4" max. I've got a regular pleco, a BN pleco, 2 synodontis cats about 7" long and other CA/SA cichlids in a 75g. They are all fine together and healthy.

Your stocking should be fine. Just keep up with weekly water changes.
