Keeping plecos with cichlids.

just individual agression, i assume. every fish is different. my mother has never had a cichlid kill a pleco, even when she put one in with a pike cichlid.
for some reason mine always kill them each time I would get them. Do you know what would work good for algae? Like a medicine
algone is a good killer, but algae killers can kill live plants as well as algae. but the best way to get rid of algae is with a scrubber pad and your hard work.
Well I have a mag float that works pretty good if its a strong magnet only on the out side of the tank but not the back because of my background. Are you sure you don't know anything that could rid of it by a medication.
Looking at your list of fish in that 55, I'm a little surprised that only the plecos have been killed. Are those fish all fully grown?
The only pleco that would survive in that tank would be a larger common pleco which I would strongly advise against adding to your tank. I had a peppermint pleco with an oscar and they were OK together as long as the pleco had plenty of wood and many hiding spots. Right now I have a gold nugget with a dozen peacocks/africans and they dont even touch or pay attention to him.
And for the back wall just get a scrubber brush and go at it yourself. It only has to be done every few months and takes 5-10 minutes so no big deal.
