Woke up during the middle of the night to get a glass of water, the lights in the house where all off, I decided to feed my pleco with a algae wafer when to my surprise I saw him on the tail of my 7" discus? The discus was at the bottom of the tank in between some plants resting and the common pleco was latched on to his tail? I would say the pleco is about 5" in size. I have never seen any behavior like this from the pleco. The discus is healthy with no marks on body after taking a closer look. I tested water parameters just to be safe and all appears well.
It was as though the discus wasn't even putting up a fight, just letting him suck on his body? Should the two be separated or is this something that just occurs, has anyone ever had a similar incident occur?
Now that I think about it, earlier during dinner I was watching my pleco kind of chase the larger of the two discus around?
