Proves that you cannot mix plecos with aggressive cichlids. I don't get why people interpret the "armoured" catfish being totally fine with cichlids.my friend put plecos in a cichlid tank and they ripped their eyes out![]()
I find this statement very broad. Not all cichlids are like that.cichlids really arent compatable with any fish. they'll beat the hell out of any fish thats small enough. wouldnt recomend them.
I have one of those common plecos. It felt like "rock" when I touched them. But even with that, it got shreded easily by tinfoil barbs. Even if it is a bit "armored" doesn't mean that it can withstand any beating. There are still some soft spots in their like the fins and as mentioned, the eye.
Some guys here made wallets out of their skin (school project). And their body secretions are being studied as an alternative biofuel source.![]()
My tins run from my pleco. Iv never touched my plec, I thought about it last week but got scared. I have a hard time letting my fantail suck my finger once, the tin foils thought about it and I yanked my hand out of the tank. NO TOUCH!!!
