I'm not new to keeping rubbernosed plecos.
I had one way back when with my first set of goldies (his name was Norway).
....but sadly he too perished in the miss-communication.

ANYWAYS.
i was thinking a getting one to be Chutney's (my oranda) companion in the twenty gallon- since
she's by herself.

but i was wondering....how does one go about quarentining a pleco?
I mean...can they carry the same diseases goldfish can?
Ich, flukes, worms...etc;

it sounds like a stupid question...but i (personally) have yet to see a pleco displaying
significant signs of disease....

....maybe i'm just new to the fish world.

OH!

and is there a reccamendation?
>>as far as goldfish-compatability goes....

bristle nosed
or
bulldog plecos?

What is a bulldog pleco? I've never heard of one!! Got a pic?

'bulldog pleco' is another name for a 'rubbernose pleco'....

Oh, I had never heard that!

i have seen plecos with ich before...didnt know what it was at the time (before kokos) but that poor fish looked like he'd rolled in a pile of salt.

don't use salt with them..
