I just found my pleco dead !! Not sure how, as he was fine yesterday. I didn't notice any marks on him where the cichlids might have gotten him. If you could please advise what I should get for an algae eater. As I stated before, my cichlids are getting large so I don't want to get another small Pleco for fear they may do the same thing to another one. I have not seem any large ones for sale. Any advise would be appreciated. Poor guy. I feel really bad.
