My oscars have laid eggs once but ate they ate their own eggs. They are at it again and will probably lay more. The tank always builds up the green stuff (too close to window) and i want to add an algae eater, will it eat the eggs if the parents don't?
will plecos eat eggs

- Start date
it interupts the "mood" to have to clean the glass, but i don't want Al to eat the fruits of their labor
well my flowerhorn bred and when the eggs hatched the left over sticky stuff on the rock which had the eggs on them my pleco sucked all over it till it wss clean. I'm pretty sure the will eat them. don;t take that chance just remove the pleco for aehile to a temp tank.
Affirm. Oscars are relatively a panzi from all the things I've kept or kept with them. I do however say no need to remove the pleco, they'll take care of him. And even if he takes a couple hard shots it'll be no time for healing on him if need be. Just leave it all alone!!
