pleco with tropheus

[judyok]

I've had bristlenose in with my Tropheus for awhile, but they started getting pretty thin so I moved them into a separate tank and they fattened up quickly. Cichlid gobies work very well with Tropheus.

I agree. This is almost exactly what I say. Unfortunately I have only tropheus other than one Petro Tank and I didn't move either of them and they eventually both died I believe. Found them both a different times pecked to the bone. Plecos aren't really a benefit anyhow. They don't do the job that Trophs or Petros do for algae.

the Plecos will starve and the only way to keep them healthy is to feed them when you turn off the lights and feed them sinking food, but that is not viable specially if its in the living room and people are always up and about unless you wake up in the middle of the night and feed the tank.
