Albino Bn Pleco Is A Jerk

[snowflake311]

My small albino bn lived with a large medusa pleco and they were fine. I added a rubbernose that is a little bit bigger then the bn. Buy this bn pleco is a jerk big time. It's like she wants to fight she will go where ever he is and Bully him around.

I'm thinking of taking the bn out and move stuff around . Then add the bn.

Anyone ever have a problem?
like this and what did you do that worked?

I have a bn pleco with a clown and they Never were like this. I'm a bit shocked.

my regular BN is a jerk to my other smaller (female?) BN and it gets a bit annoying for me... i asked in a different section if changing stuff around would help, people said that it might confuse them for a bit, then they would get back into the same routine.

It really probably depends on your tank size and/or tank setup. The behaviour is quite normal and I too have had to rehome a territorial bristlenose.
You can't really blame it for natural instinctive behaviour - you'll just have to manage the situation and quite possible find a new home for either your bn or the rubber nose.

They are both around 3" in a 55 gal with lots of hide outs. They are getting along better now.
