Fish Store Sold Me A Pregnant Placo! Do I Move Them?

[papini1124]

Hello,
I just set up my tank last week.
It is 15 gallon with a heater, aqua filter and air pump.
The PH is 6.8
The ammonia is 0 ppm
The nitrate reading is .5 ppm
The temperature is 74 - 76 degrees.
There are 2 neon fish , 1 angel 2 garamies and 1 placo.
The Placo the pet shold sold me was pregnant and had 6 - 7 babies.

Do I need to spearate them?
How often do I change the water in the tank?

Thanks,
Joe

hi,

plecs lay eggs which need to be fertilised, i think you may be confused with some other fish???

Plecs have eggs not babys

That tank isnt big enough for a angel fish it will need a tall tank

How do you mean babys you wouldnt normally have to seperate them but in this case i would as your angel fish will eat them

Oh yeah and 1 week isnt enough time for your tank to cycle unless you do frequent water changes your fish will die unless you used mature media

could be a Pleco crossed with a Platy?

Hence Placo?

Sorry Papini couldnt resist it, honestly dont mean to take the pee.

EDIT: oh thats poor, Christmas cracker quality, i'll leave it in though in the hope someone smiles at least

ANY PICTURES PAPINI? at least let me try and help rather than provide poor jokes

if no pics, try an describe the fish that had the babies, could the babies be from another fish?

Sorry but are you talking about a pleco (catfish), never heard of a placo. And as everyone has said previously they don't give birth to live but lay eggs.

Please provide pics so we can better assist you .
