Re: plec with a big tummy
As long as you witness it feeding then i would't worry about it. But to aviod bloat which he may have which is nothing serious, feed it some frush cucumber of similar fruit or veg to clear and detoxify it's intestins as they may be clogged. After about a week you can switch to its normal diet again.

If you have a big enough tank with enough hiding places, pH of around 7, you can keep virtually any fish together as long as all the fish are around the same size and these two groups of fish are avioded:
Serrasalmus
Tetradon(figure eights and dwarfs are the
exception).
I keep a successful community of fish in a 4 foot tank including the following families:
Cichlids, tetras, loaches, gouramis, barbs, rainbows, livebearers, killiefish, catfish, puffers.
