Need Advice- Bristlenose Pleco
Hello,
My bristlenose seems to be very protective of food that sinks. I have been watching her attack other fish for several seconds at a time before they can get away from her. She mostly seems to like going after the Cories.
My question is how dangerous is this behavior? Can they withstand some of this? Or should I bring her back to the fish store due to her aggression? She only does it when I feed the sinking food (1-2 times a week), and I am careful to spread that across as much of the tank as possible. I notice that everyone gets more aggressive during this time, but with her she is able to actually attack. I don't want my Cories to be hurt.
Any help or advice would be appreciated. I really like her but I am worried about the others.
