View Full Version : Funny fish

I"ve got a small pleco, a couple small clown loaches, and 3 little cory
julii's in my tank. It's so funny when I feed them, they act like they
haven't been fed in a year (especially the clowns)

The pleco was really funny tonight, I put in flake as a staple, then I
dropped in some algae wafers, mainly for treats for the pleco. He smelled
them when I put them in the water, by the time they hit the bottom he was
all over each one like a dirty shirt, swimming hell bent for election to
chase the clowns and the little cory's off of *his* food.

Once he accomplished that task, he went back to sucking on a rock. :-)

I could just hear them
Pleco---"My Food, My Food..get out of the way!!!!!!!!!!!"
Cory's-"Do-do-oh-de-oh. Here comes that excitable fish again. What should we
do Stan?" "Gee, I don't know Ollie, perhaps swim out of the way?"

Sounds like you may be too cheap with the food? Double up and see what
happens?
