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.
