Mel Posted November 13, 2008 Report Share Posted November 13, 2008 I have a 25cm common pleco in with my african cichlids. We have just put silca sand in the tank Now my question is: is the pleco ok with sand, as we were watching him/her last night trying to eat a algae wafer and it seemed he was getting rather stroppy with sand going in his mouth is this normal. any suggestions or help would be great, thank you.

ryanjury Posted November 13, 2008 Report Share Posted November 13, 2008 They should be fine with sand there natural habitat is more sand than gravel... The only problem I can see with him and silica sand is with his size he will stir alot of it up and it will fill up your filters. He might not be used to it?
