Hi All,
So im new here and im a beginner aquarium keeper. Im having a few problems with plecos. I've had 3 in the past, 1 butterfly pleco, and 2 common plecos; All at different times and none have survived for more than 2-3 weeks. I've brought my water in and theres nothing wrong with it. I feed it wafers and the algae in the tank. I have a kuhli loach, a rope fish, 2 ryukins, and a telescope. Nothing that can harm it. Its in a 30 gallon. Basically im going to buy a new one tommorow and I'm hoping you can tell me whats wrong and give me a few pointers to keep this guy healthy and alive. I have a filter and airpump and caves and plants in my tank. Im going to buy a royal, common or magnum pleco. Any help would be great! Thank you!
