is it possible

Different types of Plecos have different habits…

In regards to Common Plecos alone…

As Babies, they eat plant matter, including algae, readily…

As Juvis I would consider them Opportunistic Omnivores…

As Adults, I would consider them Opportunistic Carnivores that will eat plant matter in the case it were starving to death…

I don’t think we should use behavior in desperate situations to define “behavior” of an animal. There is plenty of documentation of human beings eating other humans in desperate situations, but I think it would be misleading to suggest that human beings readily cannibalize…

This is a bad thread pointed at one specific species. Or should I say L number.

I had 2 17" commons and they left stringy footlongs but my royal and gold nugget don't.

You get what you pay for!

Where are you located? BB Fish & Pet took my old 8" plecos. He acted like he didnt want them, but then I saw the tag a week later & he was selling them for $20 each! They both sold for that price in one weeks time... Point is, ask them to take the fish, but dont expect any $$ or store credit.

Don't flush it... that's horrid...

Either find it a suitable home or buck up and kill it yourself....

Flushing it only forces it to die a long drawn out miserabel death... with the very very slim chance you turn it into an invasive species which makes it someone else's problem...

Freezer is much less painful than toilet
