Excuse the question but...

) 'cause mine do!
I just got a couple of mickey mouse plattys (boy and girl) incredibly cute, but I've noticed how they kinda, well... poo quite often. Or maybe I happen to be watching while they're doing it. Lucky me! I'm really new to this so I don't know. Other than that they seem to be fine, they eat well, swim well and even became friends with my guppy.

Any information on the subject will be appreciated. Thank you!

They indeed do, but ever since I got hold of bristlenose plecos I don't see poos from any other species any more... These guys so over-poo compare to anything else I have seen so far...

Cories do help in cleaning it up. As they swim around the bottom in screach for food they stir up the bottom of the tank so the filter can pick it up. Sometimes even bitting it to spit it back out. They don't eat the poo but can really help keep the tank bottom cleaner even more in sand bottom tanks.
