Hello everyone!
I'm new here and already love this forum. Great info plus good people to exchange with means great support and fun First I will give little history of my tank.
I have a 15 gallon tank in which I have had a flourishing guppy community. Unfortunately, illeness prevented me from taking care of the tank and,,, well let's just say most of my fishies are gone :'(
I gave tank a thourough cleaning and added 8 new guppies in it to help it restart. I also bought a Pleco. Tank went through a mild break-in period I guess though, cause I lost 4 of my new guppies and most of my juveniles I already had. Crisis is over I think, my new guppies and the juvenile that survived are doing good so far.
I am worried about my little Pleco, Oscar, though. He seems to be doing alright but I wonder if he is getting enough food. You see, my guppies are always picking at the food tablet I give him as he tries to eat it. He eats a while, then I guess he gets annoyed cause he goes to hide. I seem to have bottom feeding guppies ??? I had no idea they could do that. Anyone have suggestions as to how I could get them to stop pesturing my poor Oscar?
