Pleco Cleaning Power!

[sXeLifer]

I'm stunned at how well this guy cleans only just got him yesterday, he's a clown peckoltia so allegedly he doesn't deal with algae or anything that well but I've had a piece of bog wood that had roughly 3 years worth of muck on it and its halfway cleaned already! Shame theres so much poop as a result though

if the tank had brown diatoms over it (quite common for new tanks) then some plecs seem to love this. Mine had plenty when I introduced a bristlenose, within 3 days it was all gone.....but the BN had an almost constant extra tail

The pros and cons of plecos!! Its important to remember that they are not just hoovers and that they do need a varied diet. Lots of people think they dont need to feed them!
