what are you trying to clean? excess food should be cut down on and removed through smaller feedings and frequent WC with vacuuming. As for algae, like has been said, elbow grease, as well as limiting light to the tank

also, while cories and plecos are often recommended for helping with clean-up, it's important to remember that they have their own food needs, and shouldn't be expected to get by just on leftovers

the animals dont actually clean youve seen to much finding nemo(the scurge of the aquarium industry
).those animals clean the fish of parasites not the tank, also they cant live in freshwater.
there are plenty of plecos and different types of freshwater shrimps or snails to eat algae. but they dont actually clean the water they only eat algae you still need to do water changes
Flag tails. I never have to clean my interior glass ever since I got him. He is also a garbage disposal. Eats everything. At least mine does. I still do weekly water changes too though. To clean up all the waste.
Mine does a great job on algae as well. He's constantly grazing all over everything, but he'll take about any food I throw in the tank as well. I just upgraded him from a 75 into a 150, and when I drained the 75 to tear it down, there were THOUSANDS of lip prints all over the glass from him grazing that appeared when it started to dry. It made me laughdavid503bk;3351799; said:
