    Blue Phantom Pleco L128

    So I posted here a few weeks back regarding a Royal Pleco I had which unfortunately passed on but as I found out was probably for the best as the tank size would have become an issue down the line.

    I am closely monitoring my pleco and I am trying to diagnose and treat what looks like bloody bloster on the belly of my pleco. It had these once before and they clear up with 20% water changes daily, stress zyme, increased water temp, and a good bacteria ball. I would like to know what these...

    Plecos question

    Opinions please? I have always been under the impression you can’t keep multiple plecos together but when I watch videos or ask others they have multiple plecos. Some more info would be good as I would love to have another pleco in my tank. Thanks in advance.
