HELP!!!Pleco vs. Angel
HELP!!!Pleco vs. Angel
Ever since I added a new Marble Angel my common pleco has started sucking on it. I didnâ??t believe it at first so I waited around one night with a candle, as soon as the angle goes to the bottom to sleep the pleco swims over and latches on, at first I didnâ??t think much of it. Now there are wounds on the angle. What can I do, if anything, this pleco is FAR from underfed (he chases other fish away to get to blood worms on the surface) and has about 5 algae wafers a night. Itâ??s a 70 us gal tank and plenty of hiding places.

sucker
i also had my pleco suck on my bichirs.. 
think some plecos specially common ones like to suck fish..
and this harms the fish...
they are better suited with aggressive big fishes.
better separate them... or you'll lose that angel..
