The pleco is all torn up. All his fins are tattered. My male JD is about 8inches, the female about 5inches. The pleco is not very big, only about 5inches. When i woke up i saw the JD's attacking the pleco. That pleco must have really wanted those eggs! I forgot the pleco was in the tank as it is always hiding under a rock, but this mourning it was going crazy trying to get the last few eggs remaining! My other breeding pair consist of a 5inch female EBJD and a 5.5inch Male BGJD.
