The Common Pleco

One of my favorite fish currently in my fish tank is the Common Pleco. This fish is very different from other fish in a few different ways. This fish can live from ten to thirty years! Also, the Common Pleco's size is gigantic. It can grow to between twelve to eighteen inches. You do not have to worry about this fish eating other fish because it is an algae eater. If you were to buy this fish I would recommend buying a real wooden log becaus the Pleco likes to chew on it. I think that you can pretty much put the Common Pleco in you fish tank after you start putting more fish in your tank. The Common Pleco does not move around much. But, don't worry because that's what all Common Pleco's do. If you read my previous post you can acclimate this fish the exact same way. Usually when you buy a Common Pleco they will be pretty small compared to what they grow to. If you scroll to the bottom of the page you will see a picture of a Common Pleco. My Common Pleco is currently hiding and I wouldn't be able to get a good picture. So I am using a picture on the Internet. My Common Pleco is only about four to six inches. But I have seen it grow a lot since I bought it. I do not feed the Common Pleco because there is enough algae in the tank. But if your worried there isn't you can feed it some algae pellets or something like that. The Common Pleco is compatible with my other fish. I have a golden dojo loach and they never fight. Also the Common a Pleco is a tropical fresh water fish. Thank you for reading my post. If you have any questions or concerns about your Common Pleco please comment.
