how large is this pleco ? and how large is the tank "?
All to often some of these pleco's get large and are traded in at the pet shop and some one comes and buy its "cuase it soo big and cool looking" then it does well for sevral weeks , then after it depletes all the algae it dies off.
when i had fresh water I ALWAYS BOUGHT SMALL ONES , even for a sizable tank
keep in mind these things are constantly looking for algea to eat . ( not much nutrition in algea , so it has to eat alot to sustain it . )
or you can try feeding it with some algea waffers in the bag at the LFS. |
