nighthawk Posted February 13, 2010 Report Share Posted February 13, 2010 So, the beautiful leopard pleco that was doing, incidentally, an awesome job of keeping the walls clean, has been brutally chomped by his tankmates. He was found at the bottom of the tank yesterday, with good sized bites in his side. Size: about 4 inches. Sad to see him go. Now the question arises: how do I get an algae-eater to clean this tank? He was significantly larger than his tankmates (compressiceps, julies, firecrackers and shellies), and an armoured cat to boot. Is it just a matter of finding a bigger yet fish? Are there more appropriate choices for the aggressive tank? Do my tangs now just have a taste for bottomdweller?? :shock: I appreciate any advice you can offer.

Wingin' It Posted February 13, 2010 Report Share Posted February 13, 2010 maybe some nerite snails? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLake Posted February 13, 2010 Report Share Posted February 13, 2010 I'm guessing it wasn't the shellies that did it. Maybe the compressiceps or leleupi maybe the julidochromis was involved. I have a vampire pleco and he lives under the wood with the julidochromis transcriptus and he is fine. Tough loss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLake Posted February 13, 2010 Report Share Posted February 13, 2010 What type of shellies? Just curious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
