Have been rather lucky with my plecos and plants however these have devoured all of my swords and anubias. I have a pair that appear inseparable, interesting as I've not seen this before with my other plecos. I don't know how to sex them, would love advice if anyone knows. They mostly stay to themselves but do get a bit territorial towards other species when given fresh zucchini." |
