Questions
I have a tank with 6 corys. How many of these wafers should I be giving them daily?
- Depends on the size of the fish, and if there are other bottom feeders . Small corys maybe 1 break it up if possible. This way you won't have leftovers to mess up the balance of the tank. You could feed more if you feed less often .

It did dye the water and changed the color bluish-greenish. I add two a day. Is it too much for a ten gallon of 1 pleco 4 Dalmatian tank.
- You should only put what your pleco will eat right away. A 10 gallon tank is way to small for a pleco if you want him to grow big. I have 2 plecos in a 70 gallon tank. They both are 24 inches long and 8 inches in circumference. The Tetra wafers are ok for your pleco. I have never had my water change color, you may have gotton a bad bag. The pleco will also like Tetra shrimp wafers & Hikari sinking wafers. Hikari algae wafers are top of the line food for plecos. If your pleco is not eating what you put in, use less or 1 wafer. Remember the bigger the tank the bigger the fish. Also don't crowed the tank with other fish. They don't like that. Good luck. Dan

Best foods for 29gallon tank with 4Rosaline Sharks, 4Congo Tetras, 1large bushy nosed plecostamus. Vitamins?
Hello, good afternoon! I was curious as to how to keep a healthy, happy pleco? I just received a baby albino pleco, we got algae wafers, as well as the other algae that grows in the tank, I have a couple questions, how do I tell I’m feeding him enough, how can I let him stay happy and healthy, how do I give him a great, long life, how do I tell when he is sleeping, and how ca I tell when he is sick, I’m not to familiar with pleco sicknesses and diseases. Thank you so much, I appreciate you!
I’m getting a 20 gallln tank and I would like to know what are the best tropical freshwater fish that I could get? I would like to get a pleco, but he would get to big for my tank, so I’m wondering if I could donate him to my locomotive petco in The Dalles Oregon? Thank you I love PetCoach!!!
Can platties, Black mollies, pleco, and neon tetra all be kept together in a 20 gallon tank?
My Betta fish keeps spitting out its food. I feed it "XL color granules" mixed with "color flakes" its tank mate is a molly. I heard you can get bloodworms and soak them in garlic guard and they will eat it. Is this true? Thank you. -Cristina
Hello. Can I feed a figure 8 pufferfish live or dead meal worms? Or frozen thawed tilapia? Live feeder fish? Ghost shrimp? Thanks!
My pet pike cichlid is not eating and is always staying in one corner of the tank. It is in a 20 gallon with 2 convict cichlids, 2 firemouth cichlids, 1 Oscar, and two plecos. My ammonia is 0, nitrate 0 and ph is 6.5. Water is a little tinted because of the driftwood.
Is this tank big enough/small enough to hold goldfish fry (these fish will not be in it we are just cleaning up there other tank)
Hi, I had a bettas fish and a clown pleco. A day after doing a complete cleaning of the tank, my better fish died and my pleco started acting weird. I tested the water. Ph 7, ammonia 0, nitrate 0, nitrite 0. He is not eating, his skin started to look like white, like shedding? And now is like coming off. Also, his belly is bloated. I attached pictures.
My pleco fish is bullying my fancy goldfish that are in the same tank. What should i do?
I have always given my turtle ReptoMin for the past 14 years. Are there any other foods or treats i can feed her?
Where can I get a brislenose pleco? Their are none for sale on the Petco website.
