Pleco

[Platy lover]

I bought a little 2" pleco named Fred, will he eat brown algae?

all depends what type he is... he will if he's hungry enough, but will need catfish pellets/wafers/tablets and things like courgette too.

If he is a 'common' plec he will get too big for most tanks, but if he's a bristlenose he'll stay fairly small.

Any chance of a pic?

It's a little clown plec.... NEEDS wood in the tank as it's primary food... isn't really an algae eater..although he may eat a little. Fresh veg should be offered regularly.

Very shy plec so make sure you have plenty of hiding places for it.

Yes very cute

There's one in an almost bare, brightly lit aquarium at my local garden centre... am VERY tempted to rescue him, but don't really want a tannin stained tank this time round... (going for clear water)...

Yeah Fred likes to hide in my little cave and I will try to find wood for him
