longfin bristlenose with african cichlids

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.

I found out that they will pick on the smaller LF as well.

I will be trying one in a tank with a ruby green and a crested goby, I will let yall know how it goes.

goodluck buddy!

I keep my regular bn plecos in with jack dempseys, red jewels, electric yellows, and german blue rams and they have all left the plecos alone for me.

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

long fin pleco in african tank will become a no fin pleco

i agree but i am sure someone has gottne it to work.

lol to shredds u say?

So the experiment failed? I haven't even tried it yet

Fail I had one in with some small fry and now hes dead....

But they seem to do fine when its one small red top lawanda and multiple lfbn's and some corys.
