I'm wondering about how my Leporinus Fasciatus will react to one, and
wanted to see if anyone had any experience with them before I sacrifice
another. Looking at one for this tank as brown algae is starting to
move in... Although the algae DOES give the white gravel I had second
thoughts about after putting it in a bit softer look..

At least I know one will exist with the tiger barbs I had to rescue out
of my father's tank.. (why he thoughts barbs and angels could live
together is beyond me)

Oh yes, and here is the blurb that got me worried about having a pleco
around with the leporinus:

Diet: Our Leporinus' ate just about everything they could catch. This
includes algae wafers, live goldfish, live brineshrimp, frozen
brineshrimp, frozen bloodworms, live blackworms, snails, and several of
their tankmates.

Temperament: Initially they are a small and somewhat timid fish, but as
they grow their dispostion changes dramaticly. They are voracious
eaters, and this includes any of their tankmates who has the misfortune
of not being able to defend itself. In under a year, our two leps ate an
elephant nose, a plecostomas, an albino catfish, a clown knike, 2 apple
snails, and an astonishing amount of goldfish meant for their bigger
tankmates. I had to remove the larger one because he started picking on
a pleco that was at least 3 times bigger than he was. The remaining one
seems a little calmer now, but for how long......?
