Wife wants to get a fish tank but we have no fish experience... I'd hate to spend $$$ and kill off the fish in a week or less.

Buy cheap until you get the hang of it. You can get fish as cheap as $.10. Just do a bit of research before picking the fish you want.

Oh heavens no. Never mixed them. I used to keep 6 aquariums going all the time. In fact the SA ones, I never kept more than a pair in a tank. They are pretty aggressive. They would even beat up on my Plecos. The Kribs we raised were a lot of fun. They would readily breed and raise their young 'uns. I thought the Rams were the best looking but tough fish to raise.

I planned on just having 2 ACs in my tank until I knew the water was safe, but one started attacking the other and you could see visible "wear" on the yellow one's fins. I bought 2 more and it immediately stopped. I know all fish are different, but I'm confident that I saved the yellow fish's life by getting a couple more...I should have stopped there, but somehow I found myself at the pet store again and I just had to have 1 more to complete the tank.

Would a Pleco survive with ACs?

Mine did okay. They did pester him some. I had some hiding places. Busted clay pots are always good. I had a big piece of driftwood in the tank also. I wouldnt put a little one in though if yours ACs are already established.
