I have two Discus fish with water temp at 88*.

30 gallon tank with Fluval 250 canister pump and UV light.

Recently the small Plecostemus died and I was wondering if the water temp was too high for it. The water quality is very good and well maintained. The Plecostemus only lasted a month and a half.

What algae eaters will do good in a high temp environment? Thank you

What kind of pleco was it? also, what did you feed it?
here's a list of plecos:Pleco
maybe you can find one on there.

It was a Clown Pleco which I fed flake food and from your link the temp should be up to 82*.

So, I guess 88* is too hot for the pleco.

temperature is possiblity but flake food isnt an adequate diet for it either.. you'd need to throw in some algae flakes and others too..

Thanks, phys.

I also, had some bottom feeder pellets which I didn't use.
