The Common Pleco or Plecostomus can be a nice fish for the appropriate tank. It is usually referred to as Pleco because of the superstition that if you spell it fully or correctly your fish will soon die. So silly. This fish is well known as an algae eater and can often be found stuck to the side of your aquarium.
The guppy's also couldn't swim in to them like the marbles. The also would be softer to lay on as there more round less pointed then gravel. I can see the marbles and guppies being a problem if to deep they very well may pick there way in and get stuck. A 1 lay covering could work, maybe the flat type so they don't roll.
7,675. May 21, 2019. #8. Just monitor the pleco, if you see him turning white do another water change and add stress coat or something similar. Turning white would be an indication that the slime coat dried up a bit and is peeling, or he is over producing the slime coat to slow the intake of salts. OP.
I feed my bristlenose plecos a variety of food. they get pleco/ spirulina wafers or sticks, canned green beans, cucumbers, zucchini. Plus they eat on the foods that I feed the rest of the tank, including the sinking pellets and sticks for the corydoras in the tanks. LL mine get the same foods, and never had any issues except for the one type of ...
On 5/22/2022 at 6:06 AM, 31LJ95 said: Hi I was wondering if I could put a group of corys with a bristlenose pleco. I am setting up a new 105l tank (little over 20 gallons I think) and wanted to know if I could house them together. I tried it in the past but my bristlenose killed two corys but he was very terrotial.
Treatment of ich with salt requires lots of salt actually. The usual treatment range is at least 2-3ppt, but I have read there have been cases the ich still remained alive 5ppt or so. I would not use salt as a treatment method for cories/plecos myself but just a lil bit of salt can still be a support.
Most pleco can tolerate salt. Some types of plecos are found in brackish water. While plecos don’t have scales. Most of the fish is covered in boney plates. There is some confusion on this because it is a general rule that scaleless freshwater fish do int tolerate salt well. Many fish like Otos and loaches doesn’t have scales and don’t ...
Unless it's 80g+, you're limited to the plecos that stay small. Also, I'm guessing the cichlids you've listed are African. Plecos tend to like more acidic water, I believe, whereas many African cichlids need to live in mineral-rich water.
Fishlore Legend. I feed my BN Pleco (33g tank) a raw slice of fresh zucchinI every morning, (same for my Sail Fin in the 265g tank) stuffed with an algae or vegetable wafer and Catfish Sticks from Ken's Foods. Removing the slice after several hours. If you feed at night, remove any uneaten portions the next morning.
But, plecos can unintentionally bother snails no matter what. I can confirm that them grazing around/on the snail shells and being active at eating food may be challenging and scaring for snails. I have had issues keeping snails in bristlenose breeding tank too. As a side note, royal plecos get big.
