Plecos will drop more waste than wurms after a trip to white castle.

Plecos ingest more than one might think. After all, what else do they have to do?
(besides poop).

they care called algea eaters and waste makers. before they would tell you to buy one because it eats dirt. actually it makes dirt. i had several plecos and i just don't like it when they leave all the mess. to consider it was a bare bottom tank that's why i saw all the things that i didn't when i had gravel. it depends on you if you can live with it. if you have several plecos i would do more water change and have a bigger bioload.:)
