I bought some algea wafers for my pleco, well lets just say he won't ever get a chance to eat them.

Yeah we'll see how it all pans out. The wafers sure do get the mbuna fired up though, its pretty fun to watch.natedgg said:Some/most would say you can't keep a pleco with mbuna anyhow. They'll either die from their eyes getting eaten out or starve... Looks like the latter in this case

I agree with this too a point. depends on the algae and the types of mbuna you have. The problem with keeping them together is that they compete for the same food source in general terms. Also some Mbuna can be very nasty. My BN plecos have survived with mbuna but the BN plecos in my hap peacock tank are thriving compared to the others which are just surviving. Hope that makes sense.natedgg said:Some/most would say you can't keep a pleco with mbuna anyhow. They'll either die from their eyes getting eaten out or starve... Looks like the latter in this case

All my bottom feeders are nice and plump. I don't do anything special and my cichlids are not overfed. I dump the food (sinking pellets) in quickly. Not more food, just feeding technique.
