2004年4月7日 · All the suckermouths will eat dead or dying fish, but so will the rest of tank inhabitants- and this is the most common situation in reports of plecos eating Neons. Plecos that take up slime-sucking on larger-bodied fish tend to be malnourished, which is also a tank-keeper issue, not basically a fish issue. All IMHO & IME - YMMV.

2011年10月7日 · I have an 8 to 10 inch pleco that I rescued from a lady about 2 weeks ago. I say rescued because this pleco was living in a 10 gallon tank with 5 guppies in it. Anyway I brought him home and put him in my 55 gallon African cichlid tank. this morning when I turned the lights on I noticed that he was upside down lying at the surface of the water.

2004年6月15日 · I have a 100 gallon aquarium and have been slowly losing fish. My guess at this point is that the pleco is attacking the other fish. The first casualty was a catfish that I found a couple of days ago. He looked like something took a bite out of his back. I ended up euthanizing the catfish. A day later, I found a neon floating around with no head.

2019年4月1日 · I feed my fish twice a day. He eats brine shrimp, raw shrimp, cucumber, algae wafers, shrimp wafers, pellets. I've had him for 10 months he's always looked thi

2020年2月13日 · I have a small Common Pleco, (About an inch) that wont eat the wafers I have. The brand is "Hitari Tropical Algae Wafers". The Pleco is currently in the tank alone. The tank is a 40 gallon breeder with a bit of hiding spots. Water parameters are good: 0Ammonia 0Nitrite 10Nitrate. There is a lot...

2006年8月21日 · Right now my Albino Chocolate Pleco is floating at the top of my tank with very little movement!!! Currently have a Albino Chocolate Pleco, purchased around 2 years ago, approx 6"-7" long. Every so often "it" seems to be startled, swims around the tank very fast, running into various decor.

2007年3月10日 · Many fish eat from the bottom but not waste, real food. Some even only eat live foods like worms or snails, so sometimes these bottom feeders can be more difficult to feed than normal fish. There is only two things off hand that will work good to keep your bottom free of waste buildup and thats a gravel vac and lots of plants.

2007年8月18日 · Hello - I'm new here but not to fish-keeping. I've had a tank with a 10" pleco for some time, and I just put a 10" ornate bichir in with the pleco. I was told these two would be compatible (as the pleco is too big for the bichir to eat). So far they haven't come to blows, but the pleco seems to chase after the bichir and bump him with his head.

2010年5月12日 · I've been keeping a close eye on the water conditions, and there have been no problems getting the bacteria colonies established. I did 25% water changes on Saturday and on Monday, and the current ammonia, nitrite and nitrate levels are 0-0-5. All of the fish have acclimated beautifully, except for one. I'm very worried about my bristlenose pleco.

2002年12月5日 · Actually, I got the pleco for the shubunkin tank after someone here at this forum recommended it as a good algae eater for a coldwater tank. My old copy of Innes says they are fine down to 62 degrees, but my tank is right around …
