I just dropped an algae wafer in my community tank with the monster bn pleco and ****!!!! He is charging fish, literally ripping them limb from limb! What should I do? Omg he's going crazy! He just lunged at my discus when he went for the wafer! He never did this before but a new food source is making him a lunatic!

I'm not sure but is it possible that before this he did not have a proper food source and was on the verge of starving? I mean a starving animal that was introduced to a food source would act like this.. I would think.

A 12" pleco didn't get that way by not eating.
