Aggresive Cichlids with Pleco..
I was just wondering if anyone has a system for feeding both an algae eating Yellow Lab along with a Pleco. The problem I have is there is not enough algae growth on the inside of the tank (can't control that) to take care of the Pleco and when I put wafers, etc., in the tank, the Lab runs off the Pleco and takes it all for himself. I tried the nighttime thing also, it doesn't work, the smell of algae awakens the Lab and he eventually gets to the food, once again driving off the Pleco.
I was told spinach maybe the Lab will leave alone and Pleco will eat, haven't tried it yet though.
