**Noobz** · 5th Aug 2012, 17:36

Any bro can advise if starlight pleco can be kept together with CRS?

I kept starlight brittlenose pleco with CRS. No issue so far other then snatching foods.

It will grow to 5inches. I like it, but that is too big....

yes i have been keeping them with my crs and bkk for around 1 year , they are usually shy but when it comes to food, they like to snatch.

Haha so long they don't attack crs or eat shrimplet I'm ok with it.

worth trying but they can get pretty big.

The starlight brittlenose pelco will not grow big as mentioned by GC uncle before i bought it. The size of my pelco still remains the same when i first bought it half a year ago. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Bro, are you sure? Because I do the research on google. It will grow to 5 inches! I really like it. If really not grow, I will keep a few of it! It is really nice.

You can try to get one for yourself and gauge the growth of this pelco first hand. What you google in the net may not be the same species.

Depends on L183 or L184... They are similar but if I am not wrong, L184 grows slightly bigger.. But LFS also mistaken these 2 as they look alike..

I have a L183 to let go cheap if you guys are interested.

But key thing is that they don't attack shrimps or eat shrimplets right?

from my experience, pleco only eat on shrimp that are dead. But some pleco do use their tail to dig / stir the gravel.
I am also keen to know which pleco is gravel friendly.
