Pleco Poo....mmmm

[jcashion]

My parents have 2 common plecos who crap like 2 foot long strrings. It's disgusting! Mine is as big as theirs and it doesn't do that. Is this normal? I hate seeing monster terds that wrap around the tank decor.

My Royal poops like its going out of style. My prefilter looks like a coffee filter. It's a good sign though...

My husbands pleco poops his body weight daily. Makes for lots of cleaning, but he's a cool fish and really worth the trouble.

[jcashion]

yea! alrighty, mine at home just doesn't go like that, but he's nice and healthy. MAybe he's a lucky one! YEA FOR POOP!

[messiner]

doesnt the poop cause amonia and all that bad stuff?

[DeLgAdO]

plecos have a very inefficient digestive system, thats why they crap so much.

This, along with their very long digestive tracts, typical of herbivores, mean... LOTS OF POO!!! Absolutely normal. ;)

Best regards.

Our Pleco takes the browns to the superbowl a lot. I'm pretty sure it's normal.

I have two sail fin gibbys, and oh my...

One morning I woke up and one of my filter intakes was clogged to the point of not being able to suck water anymore. I use two Fluval 404's BTW, it was disgusting.
