How often should I feed him an algae wafer? I dropped in one last night and he literally had to fight the loaches and the ghost knife over it... I think he got most of it in the end, and there was no real biting or fighting, but it wasn't optimal. I'll try feeding him much later at night.
I kept him very temporarily in my baby Krib 10 gallon while I was dealing with a minor Ich outbreak in the big tank. I had a nice chunk of driftwood in there... the plec devoured at least a whole 1 mm layer off it, and his crap turned the tank into a turtle tank... I literally had replaced the filter cartridge a month ago, and he totally destroyed a brand new cartridge in the matter of less than 2 weeks.
So if you're thinking about getting one of these for a ten gallon, even if it's temporary... don't unless you want to water change every other day and change out filters twice a month.
