Flowerhorn,2-red parrots,2-green terrors and 1 jardini they dont show agression towards the pleco at all because the pleco is bigger then all of the fishes except the jardini and the jardini and pleco have been together ever since i bought them and the first 2 months the jardini showed agression but it stopped like on the 3 month and it never bothers the pleco the green terrors and the red parrots are like 3 inches and the flowerhorn is 3 inches and the pleco is like almost 6 inches
 
Yes it matters.....They picked his eye out. Do you have another tank? If not he most likely will be picked to death....Do you want to treat all fish for his eye? If so just add some melafix and hope for the best. How big is the tank?
 
Well probably the flowerhorn picked his eye out because i barely got my flowerhorn yesterday and the tank size is about 40 gallon it's about 3 feet in length and i'm planning on giving my jardini away to my friend since he's getting a pond and he's planning on raising silvers in the pond and whats wrong with my pleco? all you told me was add melafix i was thinking about doing that but whats the problem with my pleco?
 
The problem is you have aggressive cichlids, an aggressive arowana, and a pleco in far too small of a tank. Someone in the tank attacked the pleco. The melafix may help him heal, but it may also be too late.
 
Like i said my pleco is bigger then the cichlids and the cichlids dont even bother my pleco it's probably the flowerhorn i got yesterday and my jardini doesnt even bother my pleco.My jardini usually chases the cichlids not the flowerhorn yet but probably soon and then it'll probably get tired of it well i guess it's too late like you guys said

He is right. 40 gallons is not big enough to grow out more than two of anything you said. At least go get a ten for 9.99 and a filter for 9.99 add some cycled media from the 40's filter, to the 10's filter, heal the plec and trade it back to the lfs. Clean the tank your self. If you do not have a 100 and up, a common pleco is not the fish for you. There are smaller plecs than the commons you know. Please be good to your pets and keep their well being in mind at all times....
