So my bn plecos have decided to become prolific breeders. Between the 3senegals and dempsey they share my 125g with. The babys do not last long.

My question is are plecos an unhealthy meal for the bichirs or should I just continue to let nature do its thing...

I had a issue removing corydoras sterbai from my tank, i managed to remove 13 out of 15, then i just gave up.

But my endli bichir ended up eating both of them, and suprisingly he is doing just fine.
And my bichir is only 7 inches, and if he can eat manage cory's i think baby plecos wouldn't be a problem, but i still wouldn't recommend it.
