Plecos Will Not Get Off The Glass.

My rubbernose and albino BN are getting along. But I never see them off the glass. My bn sometimes will go on the wood or plants. But most all the time they stay on the glass. I don't get it. They don't go in the caves or any hide outs.

What is the deal. My other plecos a bn and a clown are normal. They move all around the tank not just on the glass.

Anyone think this is weird. Should I add more rocks to hide in? I have a lot as is. The rubbernose is new. But my bn is not.

Who knows, what was the tanks inside rubbed with before it was filled? Could be high grade glass and are trying to horde it from the world? Maybe the glass is growing a microscopic algae that you can't see? Maybe they like making faces at you?

I think they are feeding on it. It's a 55 gal both are around 3". I wish they would get off the glass sometimes.

I think they are on strike or something. I'm sticking with the making faces idea.

Well a few days ago I noticed my albino bn would not go on the glass any more she started hiding more. My rubber nose. Still went on the glass. My bn was doing fine eatting algea off rocks but laying low.

TodAy I checked on them when I got up and found my bn dead in the corner. she was healthy and hardy. I think my rubber nose might have killed her. I'm confused I thought my if anything my wild caught rubber nose would die but he is fine.

It's a sad day I liked that little yellow bn pleco.

Awh, I'm sorry to hear that, that does sound rather random. Sorry for your loss.
