Yea so Ive just noticed that my 5 inch pleco is a bit of a warrior. He seems to go after any fish that comes near him. He's actually picking fights with my larger plecos and my bichir. Anyone know why this is happening or am I just lucky.

In my opinion Plecos are very docile fish if they are getting enough to eat. I have a 9" pleco in a tank with guppies and have no problems. I have heard people say that there pleco sucks on there other fish. I have had plecos through out the years and have never had this happen. My belief is that a well fed pleco will never go after other fish.
