General Care Discussion :: Pleco (cleaner fish) and my RES...

[Parnasa]

I'm not sure whats going on.. but I bought a huge pleco because the little ones just died very fast, and my RES is just acting wierd, its like he's trying to do to pleco fish.

He always get close to the pleco, smiffing it and climbing on it, fluttering at it.
Pleco just get bored with him and cleans his claws and head and shell ;p

Its funny!
But should I be worried?
I dont want to know what will happen if I mix pleco and RES o_O

Hilarious! Amorous turtles get hooked on the oddest things. My turtle used to love a small plaster alligator. He'd flutter at it all day long. When I took the alligator out of the tank, he turned his attention to a rock. Years later, he still loves that rock. I guess it's true love.

I always wanted to put a pleco with my turtle, but mine is far to vicious for anything that could be food haha.

I had a Pleco in my tank for almost a year, and he got rather large too. And just the other Day I noticed he was "missing" sad really. No more fish living with the turtles for me....
