Anyone know if the Rineloricaria

Algae is getting out of hand in my oddball 55g, and being that I have a ropefish means I can't get a pleco. I know that these whiptails will eat some algae, but I don't know if they would harm my ropefish. I wish I could just use the algae scraper but it scares the Cr*p out of my fish, and they end up hitting the rocks or the walls So, anyone know if whiptail cats harm ropefish?

Next time I find one I'll get it and see how it gets along with the rope

It should be ok, IME its only the larger Loricarids like common plecs and gibbys that like to suck on the slime coatings of polypterids and rays. But to be on the safe side keep a close eye on the rope fish and if you see any sign that the whiptail may have been rasping in it seperate them immeidietly.

Well if it's only commons and gibbys, whould ancistrus be ok? I have a feeling that a whiptail might cost a lot If it doesn't, I'll get one and keep a close watch on them

Is It Not Good To Keep A Pleco With A Rope Fish?!

Usually only commons or gibbys (as said in CFCs post) bother them
