LITTLE_FISH *** Little Fish *** Master of Something Posts: 7303 Kudos: 1997 Votes: 670 Registered: 20-May-2005	Reject pbeemer, this is the first time that I hear about Bristle Nose Plecos eating other fish at night. Are you sure he/she didn't eat them because they died? Overall, if that would be the case, then the description of "Excellent for community tanks." would for sure have to be changes. Just on that merit I reject the current suggestion. Ingo Proud Member of the New Jersey Aquatic Gardeners Club
