I recently bought 3 pleco about an inch big and put them in my chiclids and they got eaten. I want to put it in with my 6 week old fry but I already have a pleco in there thats about 3-4 inches long. Will my pleco kill the little one. I dont know what to do

A pleco is not a predatory fish. If something was dead it may but will not kill another fish. Not in my experience. I had many small fish with my large pleco and it never even blinked an eye at them.

So for clarity... some are. Always go by L type like L104 Clown Pleco. Most more comon Plecos are safe with fry. Some would eat them (though they are rare).
