Hi,
Anyone keeps Pleco (Sucker Fish) in there tank together with ranchus? Is it advisable? I am thinking that getting one might help clear the poos of the fishes. However, I have some doubt... Should I QT a pleco for as long as a goldfish (1 month)? How should I know if a pleco is sick? White Spot might be easier to see but what about gill disease, internal bacteria, etc? |

Hi guys, allow me to share some experiences with you. If your purpose of having a pleco is to help clean up the tank, then i wont advise getting any of them. Plecos shit a lot more compared to most fishes (i think goldfish also?) and some just like commercial food so much that they stop "cleaning" your tank. If you must get one, try those small ones. Most big plecos are not as hardworking as the small ones when "cleaning" the tank. Btw, i'm speaking of those common ones!
