Pleco and tsn: odd relationship

[Tyedyedmommy]

so i have a 12" tsn and a 7" common pleco. the pleco is randomly 'cleaning' my tsn. is this normal??? and the tsn seems to enjoy it, bumping the pleco for more when she stops!

thats probably them fighting. plecos suck the slime off of other fish

 

[Tyedyedmommy]

they dont fight at all and acually apear to be close tank mates, TSN never bugs the pleco unless it stops cleaning. they get along surprisingly well. even laying down together and sharing a burrow at bedtime.

whats the size of both fish

Be careful...That romance may not last. My rtc/tsn ate a 9" pleco. He rammed it into the glass until it died and promptly swallowed him.. They had been together for about 6 months before the incident.

Maybe you TSN has lice and he wants the pleco to get them off.

or maybe it's got crabs, dr pleco is always there to clean up a dirty fish
