Betta And My Pletco

is it okay to keep a male betta with a pletco?

He is a crowntail male that doesn't seem aggressive.

Hi two things its spelt pleco no "t" and 2nd yeh why not mine are in fact i have a bn a leopard pleco and a whiptail pleco with my bettas they are perfectly fine

 

[fivestarsellers1]

alright sorry i cant spell! and my betta wont bother him right?

Will my pleco help clean my tank? its barebottom

 

[Fishy friend2]

I believe that no Plecos are suitable for a 10 gallon tank, if you were planning to keep it in their,

Yeh ur betta proberly wont i cant say for certain but most likely not

Yes and no with the pleco cleaning it will clean algae not alot but it will but heres the kicker the more they eat the more they deficate, the more they deficate the more algae grows its a big cycle im afraid

With your spelling it dont matter we all miss spell words its what makes us human

Yeah, they will eat a variety of foods including algae, algae wafers, cucumber, and other veggies. They cannot stay perfectly healthy on a diet of algae IMO

Yeh i cant see sigs or anything so i dont know what sized tank its in the best thing that looks like a loach that will be good there is a hillstream loach but they prefer cooler waters so its basicly a loose loose and especaly as that plec looks like a leopard or another type that grows big

I would like to add to this list of foods bloodworm people think they are herbivours but plecos are omnivours so they eat meat also feed them bloodworm about once or twice a week

Also fishy its not just ur opinion we all think that

On his other thread he asked if the Pleco was okay for his 10 gallon and he said he posted a thread asking bout it,

 

[Liquid skills]

Aaah right but i agree as that plec looks like its gonna be a big one

 

[Fishy friend2]

Looks like a common Pleco to me

 

[Liquid skills]

Hhhmmm i have no idea lol if i havent owned that type i have no idea lol

 

[Fishy friend2]

I've seen some huge ones at the local aquarium, they are atleast a foot and a half long

If you want to keep a cleaning fish in with your betta, get one that stays small and actually does clean a lot, such as an Otocinclus. They should be kept in groups of at least 3 though, but you should be able to fit at least that in a 10 gallon.

or a hillstream loach they look more like plecos then ottos

I think Bristlenose Pleco can be ok in a 10 gal, but I'm not 100% sure. I was told by some other members that they'd probably do ok since they were on the smaller side.

Otos are probably the better choice though!
