Molly Pecking At My New Gold Nugget Pleco!

[stup3rman]

i bought a gold nugget pleco today, he has settled in to the tank well and is very pretty but there is a little baby molly who seems very inquisitive and seems to be pecking at it, when it does it the pleco moves away, its now been doing it for 3 hours, what should i do anything or nothing?

I doubt that a molly could do much damage to the pleco. After awhile it will prolly just leave it alone.

ok thankyou, i was just about to say its left it now ive fed them but i spoke to soon and its back, its probably just curious, maybe it thinks the spots on it are food or something, i dunno we shall see

Yeah plecos has armor skin and a molly has no teeth (i don't think ) so he probley doesn't even feel it he just sees it and moves away and most likley the molly will get bored of the pleco and move on.

ok cool, i was just a little worried as i read the gold nugget arent as hardy as other plecos and didnt want it to die from stress or anything, thankyou for clearing this up
