    I Have a 17 inch Pacu, and my plecostamus keep on sticking to him like he is a big algae wafer. I need to know if this is gonna hurt my Pacu or is he just being annoyed? Any help is appreciated, thanks.

    Yep, the pleco is sucking the slimecoat off which is leaving the pacu vulnerable to disease.

    Welcome to the forum.

    Do you have a way to separate the fish? Maybe the Pleco is a Packers fan!!! :)
