If he had spent a little of that money on more tank space he may not
being having these problems. Hopefully he'll heed the advice I sent on
greatly increasing water changes. I don't think I'd feel safe with
that fish load unless I was changing at least 80% of the water weekly.
If you want gold nugget plecos, you should take a collecting tour in
on the Amazon. I've heard they are quite tasty and a common food fish.
Makes me really wonder why the price is so high when they're this
common.
