So...In one of the classic newbie blunders, I bought a pleco when I started my tank, and did so without realizing that it was a common pleco, and would eventually grow into a monster fish. It is currently about 4 inches right now, and I realize that I would rather part with it now then wait for it to gradually outgrow hiding places. My question is, would it be sufficient to add to my present cory stock (3) maybe like 3 more cories, to make it 6 cories, and no pleco? Or should I hunt around and try to find a bristlenose pleco, or one that I know wont grow as much? I have a 29 gallon tank, it is cycled, and is over a month old.
Additionally, I have a few redfinned sharks. They get along fine, and actually like each others presence, so no territorial or personality disputes. They have plenty of caves and hiding spots as well. Ive had them for a week or so, and they look and act healthy. Thing is, I really cant say Ive seen them eat. I see them scrounging for algae a lot, but have yet to see them try to eat pellets, algae wafers, flakes, veggies, etc. My question is, is this normal, or should I try some other food? All advice is appreciated!
