advice, pleco sucking my mbu

[daniel86]

i just intro a common pleco with my MBU. I observe them for an hour or so. Then i notice the pleco occasionally swimming to my MBU and sucking on its back.
my MBU pretty friendly, it just swim away ignore the pleco most of the time. the pleco keep following and sucking.
is this of any concern? will it affect my MBU, destroying its slime coat or making it stress or something

I've read that plecos can eat the slime coat of other fish. I've no personal experience with it but I know it is not a good thing.

You need to get rid of that pleco. He is eating the slime coat off your puffer, not good!

Agreed with other 2 people. Get that pleco out ASAP.

Yeah, I would not put suckermouth cats in with a big cow like the Mbu.
