Hi. I have 3 of these in my tank, I have been thinking they are cory cats but today realised they don't have whiskers.. are they plecos or maybe something else? Thanks for your help.

No problem!

If you don't have algae in your tank for them to eat, feed algae wafers as a regular staple of their diet.

Ok thanks..I'm a bit worried now having looked them up as it says they can be aggressive and grow really big. I absolutely love them they are such characters but I don't want them sucking the eyes out of all of the other lovely fish!

Fish behavior varies and depends on the particular fish you have. If they become aggressive, remove them.

Yea sure. They seem so sweet and playful at the moment hopefully they won't change
