Hello everyone!*
I have had a pleco, I believe it is a common, for about a year. I went to the pet store and asked for someone who knows about this fish. For some reason I listened to the uneducated person tell me I can keep him in a 10g tank with other fish including goldfish! Yes I realize I made a bad decision on not researching this particular fish enough. Ok so I have a few questions on what I should do from here.
I will post a picture as soon as I figure out how! He is black with a greyish/off white spots/markings all over. He is also about 6inches give or take.
What size tank does he need?
What fish can he be housed with? My goldfish died and against my advice my mother added 6 freshwater fish. I have no idea what they are, but are still little. Should I just keep my pleco in a tank alone?
What type of food or treats are necessary? Right now hes eating tetra veggie algie wafers, one a night. Actually the pleco on the bag is what mine looks like.
Please any advice or suggestions, I am open to all! Thank you so much!
