Right now I have two common plecos, one is about 8-9 inches, the other around 3 or 4. The big one was my very first fish, and now he seems scared of me. Lights on or off, every time he sees me he runs. I've also done some research about plecos and it seems like two common's will fight when they get bigger. So after all that I decided to trade in the big one tomorrow.
Today I went and bought a so-called gibbiceps pleco, but I'm not sure if he really is one cause he doesn't match the pictures I've seen. He seems almost white, with giraffe-like spots on him. He's only about the size of a dime. Does that sound familiar to anyone?
But what bothers me, from what I've discovered, is that the gibbiceps will have just as many problems with a common once he gets bigger. Does anyone know if that's true, and if it is, is there any pleco that can get along with a common one?
My tank is a 90 gallon, PH around 8.0, ammonia and nitrites around 0, and temp at 80. Thanks.
