leopard sailfin

Question
Hi,
  i was wondering whether a leopard sailfin would suck on other fish?
because i have heard that some plecos suck on other fishes?

And what types of cichlids are good tank mates with the leopard sailfin?

Answer
Hi Brendon,
 Most plecos will suck on other fish if the the pleco is starving. This happens because people think that the pleco will just eat algae, which isn't true. Plecos need to be feed, just like any other fish. I use algae wafers for my plecos.

 I would keep larger Central American or South American cichlids with sailfin plecos.
