So are they compatible, and if so, what to look out for?<\/p><p><strong>It&#8217;s not recommended, but certainly not impossible to keep plecos and goldfish together, but only in a spacious tank (&gt;80 gallons). If your pleco is being fed a varied and nutritious diet, it will not harm the goldfish.\u00a0 Goldfish prefer to live in colder water, though, which is not ideal for some pleco species.<\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-39a8a19 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"39a8a19\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Do plecos eat or suck on goldfish?<\/h3>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e875968 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"e875968\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>One of the biggest arguments for not keeping plecos and goldfish together is that plecos might suck on the slime coat of goldfish. You see, a goldfish has this slime-coat that protects it from diseases and possible harmful toxins. If you&#8217;re a fisherman you&#8217;ll probably know this, and it&#8217;s why to never touch a fish with dry hands because it might harm the fish&#8217;s slime coat.<\/p><p>Anyway, it&#8217;s this common myth that plecos will always viciously attack a goldfish or try and eat its skin at night.<\/p><p><strong>Pleco catfish can harm a goldfish&#8217;s skin or suck on it. However, this is most likely the cause of it being underfed. Some plecos can get very big, so they will need a lot of food to be healthy. This also mostly occurs with big species such as the common pleco.<\/strong><\/p><p>Many people don&#8217;t realize that when they buy a pleco in the pet store, it might get up to 15 inches in size. This is the case for the common pleco, a very popular species. They are omnivores and very hardy, which makes them grow super fast and get enormous.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p><p>These plecos grow big, so a good amount of food has to be fed to them. Even though <a href=\"https:\/\/keepingcatfish.com\/pleco-eating-algae\/\">plecos eat algae<\/a>, it&#8217;s a myth that they can survive on that. If it feels hungry or is starving, it will likely try and eat off your goldfish.<\/p><p>As stated above, this is mostly the case for common plecos.

Did you know they can get over 15 inches long when kept in a pond? This is why goldfish should be kept in a tank that&#8217;s at least 40 gallons. Add another 10 gallons per fish you add.\u00a0<\/p><p>This means that if you want to add a pleco, make sure your tank is big enough for only the goldfish. I&#8217;d say that you can add one small pleco species (f.e. bristle nose plecos\/clown plecos) per 5 gallons, on top of the 40 gallons.<\/p><p>When talking about the common pleco or other species that can get very big, a tank upwards of 140 gallons is recommended. In a 140 gallon tank, you can put one big pleco and 8 goldfish.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-14602ba elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"14602ba\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">The ideal habitat \/ tank decor<\/h3>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9b5ab11 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"9b5ab11\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>There are a few things every pleco tank should have for it to be happy and healthy.
