Hi just saw pic of your pleccy,i had a huge tank a few years ago 6ft by 6ftx3ft wide.I had 2 huge oscars around 18 inches long and 2 plecs arond the same size,maybe a bit bigger.They were carnivorous and ate live food,and their bodies were solid like they had armour plating on,and very strong 1 ended up down my top when i emptied and sold the tank!

my plec is about 40 years old coz i got it from a man who had hadit since he was a boy

its about 9 1/2 inches so ur pleccy is catching up!
ther supposed to be vegetarian but mine likes fishfood, it floats upside down on the surface hoovering up the flakes :P

He's lovely - usually use "dead fish" for mating to feed young

I had a couple of huge plecs,they were about 18 inches,they are definatly carnivorius when they get that big!!they were not interested in any algae!

try wieghting down some cucumber!
have they got a bit of bog wood to munch on?

I used to have a 3ft tank in a cabinet with a small Plec and a Silver Shark i had from a baby amongst other fish and Dwalf Clawed Frogs and a 4ft tank with Jack Dempsey,s and Blue Acara's plus a huge Plec. If you go to Nottingham shopping centre they have a huge tank in the middle with silver sharks in and the biggest Plecs you ever saw lol
