I have never had a problem with my bristlenose pleco

together with the shrimps?

 

[Fishninja]

Yes you shouldn't have a problem

 

[Legit Fish]

okay thank you and the baby shrimps will not be eaten right ?

 

[Fishninja]

This shouldn't happen as long as there is plenty of algae and other choices

 

[Fishninja]

How big is the tank because shrimp and plecos are both cleaners. Which might not leave a lot of algae for the pleco

 

[Legit Fish]

its a 15 gallon long but it has a lot of algae and i give them algae wafers or zucchini every 4 days.

Ok a 15 gallons is probly pushing it for a bristle nose but u can try

 

[Fishninja]

Food won't be a problem from what u said

 

[Legit Fish]

ok thank you for your help i just hope there are not problems because i hardly see any more of my juve shrimps and just found one of my crystal red shrimps dead will the pleco attack them when they are molting?

 

[Fishninja]

No I do not think this will be a problem plecos are more of algae eaters and I haven't heard of them eating shrimp or fish

 

[Fishninja]

I would see other people's opinion for some reasurince
