No, it is not recommended to keep plecos with axolotls in the same tank as plecos may nibble on the axolotl's gills, causing harm to the axolotl.

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!


Can a Betta and a Rubberlip Pleco live in a ten gallon tank?

Normally, Bettas and Rubberlip Plecos aren't recommended to be tank mates but if you think that they are getting along fine together then that is OK.


Is there enough algae in my 5 gal tank to feed two plecos... i also have six glo fish in there.?

You shouldn't expect the plecos to survive just on algae. Get some bottom feeder pellets for them. They need food. Also, that tank is much too small for two plecos, let alone six other fish.


Your pleco is eating dead fish in your tank Is that wrong?

No. Plecos are omnivores and scavengers by nature.


Can plecos live in a cold water fish tank?

Cold to a certain degree (no pun intended). Plecos can withstand a pretty wide range of temperatures as long as it is a stable temperature and if different from current slowly lowered. They do best however at around a 76 - 80 degree F range.


How many axolotls can you have in a 10 gallon tank?

No more than one adult. I recommend a larger tank, though.


Can Oscars live with a pleco?

Oscars can live with plecos, but careful consideration is needed. Oscars are aggressive and territorial fish, while plecos are generally peaceful bottom dwellers. It’s important to provide ample space and hiding spots to minimize stress and aggression. Additionally, ensure the tank is large enough to accommodate both species comfortably.


Are plecos or cories better to keep?

Unless you have a 100-gallon tank, I would say corys.
