redcherrybarb Posted August 9, 2015 Report Share Posted August 9, 2015 A lady I know has plecos that spawned. She said the parents are about 5 inches long. These guys are only about 3/4 inch long and I have 2 in my planted nursery tank. I didn't want to throw them in my 46 gallon that has my three 6 inch fancy goldfish, I wanted them to grow a bit. So far they aren't eating the plants (it's okay if they do, I have it planted just for cover for my fry) I have only ever had the huge common plecos before, and would love it if these were the ones that stay small and don't eat plants. Are these seam bristle nose? Thanks Pleco-people!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redplants Posted August 11, 2015 Report Share Posted August 11, 2015 Not a good idea to put a pleco ( a tropical fish ) with a goldfish ( a cold water fish ). There diets are considerably different and disease can become a problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
