Re: Can bumble bee gobies and plecos be tankmates in a chlorine-free environment?


Can bumble bee gobies coexist with plecos?
Also, can plecos survive in tap water or do they need dechlorinated water?


When the goby wanders into the pleco's hideout, that's when trouble can start. My previous pleco was notorious for defending its territory - it took out three fish that ...
