Commons take about a month to shake off shock and get used to their surroundings. the hybrid cat and iridecent shark will eat everything other than each other and require 500+ gallons, the hjueta gar also needs a big tank, the bichir ("dinosaur eel") will be eaten by everything in that tank, and all moray eels require at least brackish water. I really hope you have a plan for all this.

We are planning to get rid of the moray eel because we found that out and Another reason is he tried to kill my baby rtcxtsn 2 days ago.

Sounds fairly normal to me, plecos are generally nocturnal and don't like light. I've had one that behaved similarly. If your plants are real then he'll be eating them at night so don't worry about him not eating during the day. Even so, he'll scrounge anything left over he can find to eat at night if they're fake plants.

Their armour plating makes them very resilient to attack from other fish, just see the odd nipped fin.

The one to watch will be your rtcxtsn as they can eat plecs whole, although it's more likely to go for your other fish first, especially your bala sharks. How big is that tsnxrtc? how big is thet tank? and is there plenty of hiding places like a big tangle of bog wood for the pleco to avoid it in?

My rtcxtsn is about 3 inches now got em when he was about 1 and half inches he is doing fine now. And my pleco hides in this skull decoration I have all day so hes fine.

Word of warning then, my largest rtcxtsn grew from 3" to 18" in a little over 2 months. fastest growing fish i've ever had. Be ready for it!
 
Woe I'am didn't think a morray eel could live in freshwater! Definately you need a large tank for those monsters or soon to be monsters. Rersearch first!!!

I knew these things already I am trading in the fish when they get too big.
