Can anyone help me find out why? Oh! I just bought another common pleco last friday. FishGuy 2008-11-10 http://forum.aqua-fish.net/?topic=pleco-keeps-dying#2 to help you out we will need your water parameters to make sure the quality is up to scratch. Do you feed them with plenty of vegetable matter mickey 2008-11-12 http://forum.aqua-fish.net/?topic=pleco-keeps-dying#3 I agree with Mick. Anyway, a small advice... if fish that were just introduced into the tank died in a week, then they probably got some disease before you bought them. Many shops do face this problem... they cannot achieve high health standards of offered fish... jan 2008-11-16
