    Clown Pleco Won't Come Out!

    I have a clown pleco that is about a year old and I've seen him about five times. He never comes out, not even for food. I leave it but I come back to check on him (I feed him at 9;30 at night) and he's never out and the other fish pick at his food. What do I do? I'm worried he's not eating...

    What are people's experiences with breeding plecos?

    Since this summer I'm now legally allowed to work, I'm going to see if I can save up for a new tank(provided my parentals approve).
