so i bought two plecos today for my 10 gal and my 20 gal tanks named them both! blackie, and spots.
well anyways i let them in their respective tanks to make sure everything was all good and okay before i left to san diego for a family get together. so 8 hours later i come home to find my pleco "blackie" in the middle of the room motionless not knowing how long he was out the tank..... i was heartbroken =[ so i grabbed a bag filled it with water and hope the fish store would give me a replacement. not thinking it was harrassed and everything cause in that tank i have a buncha guppies, a redtail catfish (very mellow and well fed) and one panda goldfish. i went to grab him by the tail and HE MOVED! O_O i was so happy to find he was alive! i threw him back into the tank added some salt and another airstone to hopefully restore him back to life, meanwhile watching him swim to the bottom and recuperate i witnessed the culprit you guessed it the PANDA GOLDFISH he was nibbling at his fins and he desperately went for shelter (my 10 gallon is very plain) which was under my sponge filter away from the goldfish and surprisingly he hid well went right under my RTC like it was being hugged like a little brother and the catfish didnt mind they are about the same size my cat which is 4inches right now is safegaurding him lol weird huh? well now hes safe but will he make it? thanks and what should i do to help him?

but now i know why my very passive fugu puffer attacked and ate half of the other panda goldfish....
he was a pissed off puffer.
 
Not to be a know it all but a 20 gallon for a common Pleco and a red tailed cat is way to small IMO it might work for now but not for long. My advice would be to get a bigger tank. Good luck
 
im getting a 75 gal with stand sump and cannopy for free from my uncle i just tneeda find someone to buy his huge ass gold fishl.
the pleco is 4 inches and RTC is 5ish around there
the 75 will house my bichir, RTC and my pleco. this 10 gal will have 1 pleco and guppies for feeders and the 20 gal for my fugu

A 75 is still not big enough for the common Pleco or the rtc. Do some research just like any other pet.



I need to spark up my fish life
 
There are so many things wrong here I hope this is a troll post and not something real....

Calm rtc who wont eat other fish? Sorry to tell you but catfish will eat whatever they can fit in their mouth. Also your gonnna need a much bigger tank than a 75g if you are keeping a rtc.
 
#1
You need to stop buying fish
#2
get rid of your RTC. It will outgrow the 75 gal in 6 months or less if kept healthy and fed properly.
#3
my understand is fugu's need full marine once grown. I also don't see why you have it living with goldfish that aren't feeders ( feeders are trash I wouldn't use them ) what did you think was going to happen.
#4
are you actually this ignorant? Im in absolute shock! Start googling information on each of your fish and then see if what you're doing is right. It's as clear as starfire glass ( keeping it fish related ) that you haven't bothered reaserching before buying.

This is not a personal attack it's just the harsh truth.

EDIT- damn a common plec too!!! Get rid of it!!!
