Fishzilla

Question
Hello. I have two tanks, a tropical tank for the tropical fish and a coldwater tank that the goldfish are in. Does that mean I can have a fishzilla pleco? I saw one at the pet store sticking to the glass and it gave me evil  eyes. It didn't bother me though. I gave you an update about Chance. He doesn' pull, bolt out of the house or sit at the table but just goes into anothr room when we eat before I have even told him to go. He is getting very obedient. A friend is helping me join msn so I will let know how that goes and I will add you, watch me. A family friend had a pleco years ago in a coldwater tank that grew very big and it lived for years in the same tnak as his goldfish. I did tell him they should be in a trtopical tank but he wouldn't listen. I'm going to the fish shop near me as they specialize in fish. Chance has even stopped jumping. I would love him to lie down next and calm down after playing as he gets very excited to ther point wehere he chokes himself.
Danielle and Chance.

Answer
Hello,
How big is your tropical tank in gallons or litres.

Thats really good about chance. To make him lay down get him to sit, then put a treat by his face so he can smell it and strt lowering it, he should lower his head with it until he eventually lays down, they say the command lie down and reward him, he this doesn't work put pressure near his shoulders whilst lowering the treat or if this doesn't work next time you see him laying down or going to lay down so Chance Lie Down, they go fetch him a treat and eventually he may realise, but its going to be harder now he's blind.
