recently one of my smaller yo-yos,hansel, (2.5") has started hanging out with the other female bristlenose pleco... i don't know why or if it's natural, but hansel now loves algae he eats it off of the glass, with the pleco, or without and he enjoys nibbling on the plants for whatever he can find. he eats the shrimp pellets and bloodworms/brineshrimp that the others get, but if i throw an algae wafer in for the plecos hansel is the first to investigate and he usually finishes it off. i'm wondering if this is normal, or if it's simply the loach's personality. he's healthy and just prefers to be a vegetarian i guess, not sure.
what's with my loaches and plecos? they're going to be sad when they go to their new home, without the plecos
