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

I agree with this article. Small Leps are fine with fast little fish.
At about 4", the predation starts. At 6", they cannot really be trusted
with most fish. I keep them with Oscars and other large cichlids (with
no issues). During some tank moves, I put one in with a large peacock,
and they mouth wrestled (weirdest thing). The Lep didn't lose. The
Peacock figured he wasn't going to win and they both eventually stopped.

How well do you figure he would get along with my buttikoferi?
