I just got a tiny(2") pleco for my 20 gallon tank. I would eventually like to upgrade to a 60 gallon, don't have room for anything bigger. Will this be large enough for a mature pleco? Also, she shares the tank with 7 goldfish. Way overstocked, I know, but that's another story for another day. When I give her an algae wafer, the goldfish always pounce on it, sometimes knocking her out of the way. I know she's getting something to eat, because she's pooping, but the tank isn't established enough to have algae buildup. Should I just drop in a number of wafers to feed the goldfish and give her a fair shot? Or is there a better way to make sure she eats? She is, of course, stunningly beautiful so I want her to stay healthy and happy.
