plecosomus

Question
My parrot fish keep buling my plecosomus. I purchased a larger one this time, and he too seems to be miserable.
He appears to be changing colors and I'm afraid they are trying to eat it.

Answer
Hi Rhonda,
  You need to have lots of wood in the tank for the plecostomus to hide under.  A plecostomus cannot be forced to sit in the open or it will not do well and fish like parrot cichlids will try to eat it.
