Is Golden Nugget Pleco a problem

[mr limpet]

I have a pair of 9 inch Oscars that are showing some breeding signs. In the tank(90 gallon)is also a 4 inch Golden Nugget Pleco. Is this Pleco going to be an egg eater if the Oscars do lay eggs?Or will the Oscars kill the Pleco?I really don't have another tank to put the Pleco in.

The pleco will eat the eggs

 

[mr limpet]

So the Oscars won't defend their eggs?

The pleco will wipe out the eggs at night time.

 

[kewpiefishypewpie]

Yeah they can't defend them 24 hours a day

 

[mr limpet]

Ok. Thanks. I guess I'll see if the LFS will take the Pleco. It's a shame cause it's a good looking Pleco.

Are you trying for the Oscars to breed?

 

[mr limpet]

Yes. I'd like for them to breed.They are in my avatar. They have been lip locking each other for the past 3 days.

How did you get them to breed?

 

[mr limpet]

Haven't bred yet. But are showing all the signs. I brought 2 Pleco's to my LFS for store credit. Thought there was only 1. I'll keep you guys informed if they lay eggs.
