yup , He made good use of it. Seems like pleco's get abused the most by average fish owners and LFS's. He didn't have a place to put it and they were orphans he didn't really have the option to reject. Better than dying slowly in a fish store or suffering needlessly in a 20 gallon.Interesting...
Since I'm a lover of all plecos I say why? Common poop machine pleco or not. But I know you keep very high priced fish so I guess a common pleco would not agree with you.
How is the bichir BTW?
Now since you have almost every Monster fish available to us here in Canada why don't you join us ray keepers? I bet you would be good at it.

Lol! I already graduated ray keeping. Been keeping rays and breeding them since grade 10 and sells the pups at King Ed. I just don't have the tank space and time for rays as I keep going on Vacation that's why I stopped keeping them. Not only that, with so much bichirs in my tank the bichir accidentally bites off the disk of the ray and stresses them out later. I'll keep them again when I have the space and time for them.
There are plecos that can be keep with ganiod scaled fish such panaque, cactus, vampire, and more. It's the common and sailfin varaints are the notorious ones that like to suck on the slime. I been keeping other plecos with my bichirs before. I have that Scarlet pleco that I bought from you and 5x galaxy vampire plecos, a papa panque, 3x chubby plecos, and galaxy bristlenose plecos and they all doing fine with my bichirs and gars before. The common and the sailfin are those that I won't bother adding in my tank.

Anyways, hope your bichir heals.
Well feed or not it just depend if you lucky that the pleco doesn't have taste for bichir slime. Back in 2004 I have sailfin plecos that are well feed with pellets and even prawn but 5-10 minutes later it will seek out the bichirs and suck on the slime. Sometimes even after feeding the pleco would lay right next to the bichir pile and just randomly sucked on them.
As I said it again, I don't have the tank space as most of my tank have bichirs in there and I don't want them in the first place and I'm not planning to keep them. I only have fish that I want in my list and common plecos are not in that list. I don't want to donate them as I'll be wasting free food for my EE. Here I'll type this one again what I said from my at post #13: "You need to understand that when you keep monster fish especially with large appetite such the electric eel, then you'll have to take advantage of every free meal." Saves you a lot of money.
