Bichir advice

[spwd]

If you have seen it sucking on it once you need to get rid as its got a taste for it and will keep doing it when it wants to,why risk your bichir when you know its in danger of infection and possibly death if it continues,some plecs can work but common plecs are apparently one of the worst.

The only plec that will work with bichirs as I mentioned : bristlenose and common
I kept a bristlenose with my delh for 3 months or so and till now I didn't see my plec sucking off my delh's coat.
The white blotches on my delh's head were probably parasites or rubbing on ornaments.
So,no worries.

I disagree.
Bristlenose maybe (But they are small right? larger Bichirs might take a fancy to them which could prove fatal for both), but Common Plecos are as NOTORIOUS as Sailfins at sucking Bichir slime coat.

Really not worth the risk.

Heard from someone who had years of experience.
Thanks though!
