Regular Member alanworm Posted September 12, 2007 Regular Member Share Posted September 12, 2007 I use to have a common pleco that was fine with the goldfish but the one i have now which sucked on my goldfish and now its infected with the hole in the head disease...now that i got rid of it i want to get a new one... i have a 30gallon aquarium and alge are growing rapidly... i saw the site which said fishes r compatible so i went to look for a rubbernose pleco... but so far i havn't found it in the area (vancouver,BC) or if anyone knows where they sell it... i was wondering if there is any other kinds of pleco that is that is compatible? i found that pleco is easy to upkeep and they do a excellent job... i have asked the people at big al's they said they don't have it, but they have a pleco thats call "clown pleco" i'm not sure if thats compatible with it ? or maybe there is other ones that is good...? HOw big will the clown pleco grow to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member alexiscool Posted September 12, 2007 Regular Member Share Posted September 12, 2007 you could request for a rubber nose or a bristlenose pleco at your local pet shop just ask the manager Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member grain Posted September 12, 2007 Regular Member Share Posted September 12, 2007 I found this link for clown pleco information: http://badmanstropicalfish.com/profiles/profile80.html "This species creates a lot of waste. Good mechanical filtration and tank cleaning practices are required. Caution: If you are after an active algae eater this is not the fish to get."

Regular Member grain Posted September 12, 2007 Regular Member Share Posted September 12, 2007 Here is another one: http://www.aquatic-hobbyist.com/profiles/f.../clownplec.html "These are not good algae eaters but are often unfortunately sold as utility fish that do the algae cleaning for aquarists. (Some say that they do a good job when young, but I'm not sure that continues past maturity.)" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
