Does pleco need oxygen/oxygen pump? I heard that it's originally from river so yeah. And I have a common pleco. Thank you :)
 
LMFAO! Yes, they need oxygen, just like every living organism. All tanks that have fish should have some sort of device that breaks the surface of the water.
 
Depends, is it dead or alive? Doesn't really matter with that 15g tank with a FH, it would be dead soon.

15g is too small for a FH or pleco, let alone both of them. Expect your FH to tear up the pleco into bits. A dead pleco doesn't need oxygen. Please give/sell your FH and pleco away if you are not intending to upgrade anytime soon and house more appropriate fishes like neon tetras or danios in your 15g.

Ahhh I separated my pleco into another tank. My FH seems happier now. Will buy a new tank soon. Btw, the FH is still a baby around 7 cm :)
