A common pleco will make the matters worse in my opinion lol they are gross and they grow to monstrous sizes

 

[Lil g]

They produce so much waste also

+1 for no chemicals. I had it before and just scrubbed the glass and did wc. Within a week it was off the rocks as well.

I love my pleco,s they are the EVS of my tanks, scrubbing algae every week or so from a 180 tall is problematic to say the least, vacuuming out the poopies is allot easer. its a fair exchange in my book.

and as i said if you have the tank for it.

 

[Lil g]

Yea sure they could be beneficial to some ppl.. Definitely not me lol

for example this is homers tank, I use as an example as it sits in the window and has for years, I have never cleaned the glass on the inside or any decore, he does that, I change the water and vacuum aggressively every week,

Thats great.. I just don't care for them as I keep large sa /CA ciclids.. Plecos don't fit into the mix

thats my small tank, there is an Oscar and a little F1 jag, mom and dad are in the 145, 180 has 2 large tiger Oscars. along with a sun cat, and BKG, all of them get along with the Plecos, seems just because they really not know what to make of them, they will try and nip at them, but pleco really not care, they are a armored fish, and display no aggression, they will move away when nipped, then go about there bussness,.

I am not trying to sell you on pleco,s. just saying to not underestimate there worth.
