I currently have 2 common plecos. One is 9" and the other is 16". I noticed that my big one is getting more aggressive. He used to be really docile. I see him chasing the small one around and on occassion the big one will chase my oscars around. My oscars wont let him suck on them, the O's always bite and it scares the big pleco away. Is this normal behavior when plecos get big and live in a community tank? I feed them lots of vegies.
Another thing. When I am feeding my oscars their Hakari large pellets the big pleco will go to the top and get ahold of a pellet. He will swim completly vertical and motionless while this pellet rolls around around in his mouth. Im not sure if he is doing this for entertainment or because he likes it. Considering the pellets are intended for oscars/cichlids, would this affect my pleco health?
