Well, that was stupid.

I put my 7 inch chocolate pleco into my 70 gallon tank with 2 Red Zebras(3 inch and 5 inch) and a 6 inch Blood parrot. I watched them for 3-4 hours last night and nothing.. no scuffles, no anything. and then came back from work this afternoon and it looks like the Pleco got his ass kicked by them >_< he has a huge hole right in the middle of his dorsal fin and the front of his head is blood red.

It sounds like he just got in a fight with one of them and lost, right? This isnt some strange disease he contracted somewhere between the two tanks that didnt affect any of the other fish?

He is back in the other tank now... will his dorsal fin heal itself?

I'd say 50/50 on the hole in the middle of the dorsal fin. I've had 2 plecos with a hole in the middle of the dorsal fin and neither had/have healed but I've had other damage on pleco dorsal fins heal up.

The wound on the front should heal up.

I'm lost of what the red Zebras are but the pleco should have been big enough(guess not).

Mbuna can be very aggressive. Make sure that the pleco has plenty of places to hide.
