Zodiac loaches nipping at Pleco
Seen my zodiac loaches nipping at bn Pleco last week or 2
I have three possible solutions to this and would like to know if and which one will work best
Option 1 - add more loaches to the existing 3 (ik there should be more but unfortunately 1 died from unknown reasons). This will hopefully reduce the aggression however they are hard to find in the hobby where I live (uk) and also hard to find online, plus shipping costs r on the pricey side
Option 2 - remove the loaches and rehome them if my lfs will take them on which I’m sure they would. preferably the last resort as I do like them tbh and rehoming the Pleco isn’t an option as it’s my brothers favourite
Option 3 - feed more as currently only feed every other day and hope that it was just that the loaches are hungry
Tank is 145litres, 80 ish cm long so should be fine and has been for the last few months, with plenty of hiding spots. Loaches typically stay around one large cave they have dug out and Pleco stays everywhere else.
Any help/advice is appreciated
