this does not seem like a good idea as i figure the africans will shread the tails. i am currently trying it with one of my fry ALBN babies with some african fry (1") in my office tank. they do nto seem to pick on the little guy at all. i was wondering if anyone else had tried this.

ps. i am not willing or wanting to try this with adult africans.

Unless, of course, the pleco decides to put his fins in someone else's cave...
