These are the Pleco and Catfish in my aquarium going ballistic on each other! These fish have co-habitated since they were both less then an inch long and for some reason they are fighting today. They have always taken little hits on each other, but I have never seen violence on this scale. I am distressed by this, and hope that if there is anyone out there who knows anything about these specific fish they might let me know if it is imperative that I separate them. The pleco is the ordinary kind, but the catfish was sold as a Cory Catfish, which it is most clearly not and I just don't know what it is. The people at the store had no idea either. I have only seen one other like it in my life and it was living in a tank with some chiclids and the owner of that tank had no idea either. This aggression is not usual for these guys though, and I do wish to prevent it in the future as much as I don't want to part with either of these. It may have been triggered perhaps by the water change that I had done about a half hour before I shot this video.

    Same happened to me, the exact two same species, a common plec and Synodontis eupterus. Lived together for years until suddenly the syno started beating the plec up. Had to rehome the plec, and I got the syno a bigger tank.
