hi all right now in my 48 gal i have 2 plecos among other fish. these pleco are 7 and 8 inches long the longer of the two will come right up to the surface of the water and swim upside down and eat the flake food all the time. He/she also beats up on the smaller one the question is how do i stop him/her from eat the flake food his protective of the food and chases most of the fish away
Any Ideas
