Kind of off topic sorry, but do you have any problems with the texas going after or picking on that pleco in there?

And beautiful fish, I hope they dont tear eachother apart.

I will let the devil lay her eggs first and male texas to notice her doing this.. (They are still new at the process) then I will remove both of them to a completely new tank set up all to themselves where they can work on their relationship for next three weeks.. You know find a new spot to live as a couple, move the furniture around, Lay around and argue for a bit, feed and get fat untill they essentially fall in love one night and she will put on her dark colors and the texas's head will swell and just maybe create a family of their own.. Although it could go completely opposite and I turn on the lights to find her cowering in the corner of the tank and asking for for a new apartment and restraining order.. So only time can tell.. :king:

I have noticed over the years that if the pleco is in the tank before the aggressive fish, they usually work out together.. I tried once to add a pleco to a red devil tank after the Devil and that did not go over so well...so to answer your question, NO absolutely no problems with tex and pleco...
