Hey guys,
So I have a 13" common pleco ( Pterygoplichthys pardalis) and recently iv noticed him doing something weird. Now in my experience and according to articles iv read, common plecos tend to be docile. Now the peculiar behaviour Iv noticed mine doing lately is that hes actually pushing around a 7" jaguar cichlid. Like the pleco will just snap like that and basically chase the jag in the tank until he gets bored and goes back to his log. The plecos normal spot is behind a ship i have and the jag hangs there sometimes too, but it seems as though he sometimes wants it to himself. The funny part is the jag doesnt retaliate at all, he just gets chased and gummed at by the pleco.
Anybody else ever have a case like this?
Heres a pic of the "corner"
