Plecos missing

09-15-2010, 10:15 PM

I introduced a 2" pleco, one each in my

Gold fish tank - 20G
Cichlid tank with holey rock - 72G
Backyard Pond - 150G

Now all of them are missing. I understand that it is difficult to spot them in a pond but shouldn't I be seeing plecos coming out once in a while in the glass tanks.

Please help.

try luring them to a piece of zucchini or cucumber, they love them and maybe you can see eating on it if you sneek up on them....

The L 135 never comes out from under a rock. I only see him when I am vac-ing the tank and I scare him. He is a baby though, maybe 2 inches.
