with all the good stuff I learned on here I rebuilt our old pond
no.. they attack GF in tanks too, usually after dark but sometimes blatantly in
daytime too. Lots of people say they dont have a problem, then they start losing their GF. Same thing in ponds with koi.

The pleco's in my fresh water tanks...never bother anyone. Are they different in a pond? BV. |

it takes time until they take a taste of the GF slime coat, after that they are after
the fish's slime coats all the time. Ingrid "BenignVanilla" m wrote: wrote in message ... no.. they attack GF in tanks too, usually after dark but sometimes blatantly in daytime too.

Sounds gross! I guess that makes them "slime sucking, bottom dwelling"

I used it to store food for my Gar before my gar died. Now there's just lonely feeders. The water turned green when I started turning the lights on a lot. So I tossed in a Pl*co...he is huge after just a few months. I am amazed. I have never had one grow so fast before. The feeders love the green water too. Neither seem to be bothering each other yet.
