Pleco Problem
Posted: Thu Dec 22, 2016 11:19 am
Hello Tank Peops
I'm having an issue with keeping a pleco.
Historically I've been able to keep one for years.
I presently have a 55 gal corner tank with my 2 Iridescent sharks. I've had them in this tank for 33 years. They started in a wee 10 gal as we all start.
Fluval filtration , I feed modestly, water changes a must, the tank is spotless and nice and clear and has been.
I do not use tank salt. Temp is 66-68 degrees
I cannot seem to keep a pleco, granted I buy them small but the sharks are soo gentle I figure it will work.
I just lost the lil feller and I'm stumped.
I do not do alot of testing and never mess with PH.
The sharks are in excellent health with great color and activity.
Any tips are most welcome!
