Does anyone think a 10" common pleco can hurt my 6-7" Ocellaris? I figured it would be okay but, one of my friends just said it would hurt them. What do you all think? I picked it up for free today.
New Pleco w/ my bass

I know that seems like a stupid question but I have heard of plecos eating the slime coat off of smaller fish. I was totally certain there was nothing to worry about until my buddy said he's had problems in the past and he's got some pretty sick ]V[onster fish. Anyway....I'm not worried about it.
Its fine dude, ive had 2 smaller monos in with my larger plecos and nothing ever happened. Go for it.
ive never had probs with pleco hurting my other fish except once i had 2 Commons in 1tank and they wrestled a little.
out of all of the plecos that i have.. and i've got at least one in every tank.. i only have one that has ever hurt a fish.. and now he's currently being tormented by fish that are far bigger than he is..
turn about is fair play, is it not?

Right on. I swear I knew it would be okay and my buddy planted seeds of doubt in my head. 
I know I sound like a newb but I had to hear it from MFK. Anyway, I know I'm good. He's already chilled out and my bass are front and center waiting for thier next meal. Case closed. Thanks guys.
