"rubber lipped" Pl*co
Thinking about adding a "rubber lipped" Pl*co to my tank....
Anyone have any luck with this Pl*co and a planted tank? Anyone have this particular Pl*co destroy their plants? Anyone know why we type Pl*co with the * ? Thanks, DJay |

"rubber lipped" Pl*co
Mine is doing great in my planted tank. Only about 1.5 inches long.

"rubber lipped" Pl*co
It soundslike a pleco from the species Chaetostoma--also called the bulldog
pleco. While they are good algae eaters, they should be fine in a planted tank. The only damage they can do is uproot plants that are not established as they roam the tank. I hope this helps.

"rubber lipped" Pl*co
Okay, I GOOGLED on them and found debate on the plant eating habits. So I
asked. I'm going to give it a shot and if he/she decides to start gnoshing on my plants, I'll go from there. Everything I read reagarding Pl*cos was that if they do get a taste for the flora, to just give them more veggies to curb their appetite? DJay "CS" wrote in message ...
