How cold does her tank get? Plecos are tropical fish but can adjust to some lower temps but not too low.
Cichlid-dude said:If your fish are small it doesnt mean they will be ok in a small tank. With cichlids there is aggression issues and they need a lot of swimming room. If you want to keep african cichlids i suggest getting a 4 foot tank minimum. Also the pleco if its a common needs a 125 at least to be comfortable.

Ryleyman said:2 male guppies, cherry red cichlid, yellow lab cichlid, blue electric zebra cichlid, kongi cichlid, red pladie and a small Pleco but I'm only using him to clear up my tank and then I put him in my brothers tank to clear up his until I have more algae.

We don't mean to sound harsh, but I don't think you realize the situation you've got. I'm sure they're all getting along right now but that's cuz they're all small. You've gotten lucky that nothing has gotten killed.
We really are trying to help.
hippy guy said:Read the full posts...cichlids arent tropical, dont go in a ten, and is the tank cycled? If not, then everyone should be taken out.. we dont keep you in a fridge, dont keep fish improperly just the same... also at the op, noone was mean to you, you just rushed into an idea, and didnt like what you found out.. noone was mean, just right...
