Vampire plecos can generally coexist with tetras and other tropical fish, as they are typically peaceful and prefer to stay at the bottom of the tank. However, it's important to ensure that the tank is spacious enough to accommodate all species and that the water conditions are suitable for both. Monitoring for any signs of aggression or stress is crucial, especially with smaller or more delicate fish. Always consider the specific needs and temperament of the fish species involved.
