My pleco stays on thi intake tube all day very rarely he(or she) swims to the bottom I try the algea wafers but my gfs eat them , but he dose seem to be growing slowly ive seem other plec grow really fst is there any thing else somebody can recomend???

Do you have any type of hidey hole or cave for the Pleco to hang out under?They feel more comfy out of the spotlight-that may be one of the reasons that your Plec's hanging up on the intake filter.By the way,what size type filter,and how big is your aquarium? How many other fish?Also,if you could put little groups of plants together for cover,he may enjoy that as well.These things may also be a place for him to sneak a bite to eat without the Goldies getting it all.You may want to try feeding him at night -after the tank lights go out.He'll also enjoy slices of Cukecumber/Squash/Zuchinni,etc.Cook til soft and enough to make it sink. Hope these tips help.

Plecos also like to hang out on driftwood, they can also eat it, very good for them.

my pleco co habits w/ 4 gf I thin k I need to go to a bigger tank I did have a turtle like tunnel but i thinkhes getting to big for it , I saw him on the floor of the tank eating the wafers, time to go to bigger tank where he can have more room I have a 25 gl I need to go to 55gl

Yep,with 4 Goldies and a Pleco,a 55 gal sounds appropriate for sure.

mr. plex that what I call im is still buggy about the gfs do u think he would be happier w/ my fancy guppies???

Give your pleco sometime to get use to the goldies I have recently learned this lesson my little girl was freaked out by mine and wouldn't come out for awhile and on the advice of Devs I gave her some zucchini in her hidey hole and eventually she came around, so paitence grasshopper.
