[QUOTE="trev, post: 1713686, member: 234128"] Goldfish are EXTREMELY dirty fish (So much so that the Pleko likely won't last long in there anyway). If the tank is clean to a point where the Pleko can't find a source of food, it could be going after the goldfish to "clean them" for food. Not a lot you can do. Get a tank divider and split the tank in half. That was you keep them away from each other. Alternate them from side to side though on a monthly basis. If the Pleko goes belly up, try snails next time. They're neat to watch and they keep the tank pretty clean. They handle the goldfish filth better than Plekos. [/QUOTE]
