    I am from Alberton and currently have a 4 Ft tank with two big Plecos (I think). We are waiting for them to 'move on' so that we can restock with smaller fish again.

    welcome - why not advertise the fish in the forsale section and rather get rid of them like that

    Welcome to TASA - why don't you want to introduce new fish with the plecos?

    Welcome to TASA VJB.
    It might be a bit of a long wait VJB. Plecos can have a lifespan of up to 20 years LOL. Maybe you should rather get infected with the MTS. That should solve your problem faster........

    The plecos are rather big; about 30cm each.

    How safe is it to introduce smaller fish like angels and guppies?

    Hi Madam! Plecos are not always fish friendly because a big pleco will eat any fish small enough to fit in it's mouth.

    Basically Plecos are not that fast. So if you want to add smaller fish, just make sure its not something like a guppy. Angels should be fine as they are pretty fast and if they do not offer themselves as lunch, a pleco should not be able to catch them.
