No. Plecos are classified as herbivores or plant eaters. They are also bottom feeders.

You have 2 plecos and a catfish Can they live with 3 large goldfish that are about the same size of the plecos and catfish?
a catfish will eat any fish that is 3/4 its size.
Can a goldfish be with a ghostshrimp?
No, Goldfish belong with goldfish with a few exceptions such as weather (dojo) loaches, apple or mystery snails, or bristlenose plecos; but only if you have a large enough tank.
Can goldfish and fire belly frogs live in the same tank?
Goldfish should only live with goldfish with the exception of weather (dojo) loaches, bristlenose plecos, or mystery/apple snails.
Can goldfish glofish plecos and an algae eater live together?
Yes, unless it is the carnivorous type. Plecos usually are herbivorous and would not eat, or even harm, a goldfish, or other fish in that matter. The person above me is right...Most plecos get very large though (2 feet!). There are two types that are relitvly small though. The first is a brsitlenose (or is it bristlestone?) and then the rubberlip pleco. The bristlenost gets to only 3 or 4 inches and is not aggressive. The rubberlip gets to about 6-8 inches and can be slightly aggressive when an adult to weaker, smaller fish. So If you get the RLP, i would only keep it with some fancies (lionhead, ryukin, oranda...etc.). I would get some places for the pleco to hide because goldfish like to poke at the pleco. Sometimes plecos will eat the slime coat of goldfish (so agressivly that they put a hole in the stomach) and can kill the goldfish. It just all depends on the fish though.
Why does my plecostomus eat goldfish tail they have been together in the same tank for 2 week and he has just started to eat the goldfish tail?
Plecostomus are famous for attacking and eating goldfish! NEVER put them in a pond or aquarium together. Many people think that plecos are vegetarian, but they are omnivors. If they are hungery, they will eat what ever they can get in their mouths, and gold fish don't swim that fast! Seperate those fish or in time your goldfish will be gone! As long as you are feeding it okay then it shouldn't eat your other fish.
Is pleco food bad for goldfish?
Plecos' are algae eaters (basically vegetarians). Goldfish are plant, insect, crustacea and fish eaters. (basically omnivourous). What do you think? Work it out!
What do plecos eat?
my pleco loves algae pellets.
Can you put a goldfish in the same tank with a tropical fish?
No, goldfish are best with goldfish with the exception of weather (dojo) loaches, bristlenose plecos, and apple/mystery snails.Although goldfish can survive in warmer water temperatures, they are a "cold water" fish and not a tropical fish.
What could be killing young Plecostomus in a tank 74 degrees 50 gal NH Nitrite are great Nitrate 20 ppm Under gravel and canister filters2 power heads It is a clean just 4 med fancy goldfish?
In the long run, keeping tropicals like plecos and goldfish together will end up with one of the two losing, since goldfish require periodic dips in temperature that the pleco will no endure. For the immediate case, however, is the pleco eating? Plecos can be finicky about getting adjusted to a new home, and will stop eating for a time. Since goldfish also eat plant material and compete with the plecos for small amounts of algae, it might just be starving to death. You might try blanched romaine lettuce, strips of blanched zuchini or even boiled peas to coax it to eat.
You have 2 plecos and a catfish Can they live with 3 large goldfish that are about the same size of the plecos and catfish in a 50 gallon tank?
No. Goldfish are cold-water fish, plecos (which are catfish) and your other catfish are warm-water fish. You run a heater in a pleco/catfish tank, but no heater in a goldfish tank. Plecos are also territorial toward conspecifics, meaning two plecos in one tank will fight and possiibly kill each other. The other problem? A 50-gallon tank is only large enough for one pleco, even if they weren't territorial. I would return one pleco, either the catfish--what is it, a bagrid?--or the other pleco, and the goldfish. If you want to build a community around one of these big cats, try some medium-sized tough cichlids like Jack Dempseys or firemouths. I kept three Dempseys and a pleco in a 55-gallon aquarium for years, and they were great together.1st: Plecos are catfish.2nd: Goldfish can't live with any other fish besides other goldfish. 3rd: What kind of Catfish is it? 4th: 1 pleco per tank only!
What type of algae eater is best for a goldfish tank with four goldfish?
it doesn't really matter what kind of algae eater you get for the tank.In my experience with goldfish I've found that plecos work well although they get very big and will need to be kept in a very large tank.
Do goldfish eat watery carrot?
No. They eat goldfish flakes.
