Chasing smaller goldspot plecos? or chasing smaller fish? Well, goldspot plecos can be territorial to it's own species when it's mature. However, they are mostly peaceful fish to different species. It is probally just territorial or something is bothering it.

Do I need to separate my pregnant pleco from the rest of my cichlids in my 55 gallon tank?

Primarily depends on setup and if proper types and amounts of territories are provided. A pleco can mostly readily defend itself and its eggs if given a good location. Otherwise if you plan on trying to save the fry then removal would be best.


Did my pleco kill my other fish?

Plecostomus species are none aggressive algae eaters. Some do however get very large. They have been known to attempt to attach themselves to the sides of plate like fish such as Discus, Angelfish etc. Although it is possible, it is unlikely that your Pleco would deliberately kill other occupants.


If you are chasing a horse that is on the road who is responsible if he hits you?

I would say you are.


Can plecostamus go with orandas?

No. There are over 800 different species of Pleco, all of which are tropical fish and huge waste producers. Orange Goldfish are coldwater, and also huge waste producers, so you can only imagine the mess that would end up in that tank. Also, some species of Pleco will not touch algae or veges and may decide to suck off the slime coat from the Orandas, leaving the Goldfish open to infections and parasites. Once a Pleco gets a taste for slime coat, it gets addicted! So no Plecos with Goldfish!

Why would goldfish chase another goldfish?

Some fish are aggressive when it comes to food. The fish may simply not have enough space, the fish they are chasing may be pregnant, and the others are chasing it in order to get her to "drop" (have the fish babies) or the fish they are chasing may be sick and dieing.


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.


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!
