Pleco question

[Koikeeper99]

i have a 10" common pleco with a 8-9" koi and the pleco always tries sucking on the koi? I give the pleco 3 algea wafers a night and last night i even gave her six and shes still doing it. How can i stop this if its possoble?

Your pleco is trying to suck the slime coat off your koi. Your best bet,IMO, would be to separate them.

Its my only tank at the moment besides a ten gallon but, NO WAY hes going in there.

Then you best put up some type of divider in the tank which I hope is a really large tank if you have koi inside. The pleco will keep it up and your liable to end up with an injuried koi.
