albino gibiceps or watermelon

[buddha1200]

i was wondering which is more easier to care for and which is a better pleco,i hear gibbicepps poop awhole lot and watermelons are messy they greate alot of saw dust in their tanks,i have a choice betwenn a 6" albino gibiceps or a 5" watermelon pleco,just some experiences with these plecs would be a big help.

I've never had a gibiceps but I've got 3 other Royals that I'd walk over hot coals for lol I'd dearly love to have a Watermelon, and will at some point. My Royals have been hardy, great eaters and just plain very nice fish to all others. "Wood chippings" are plentiful but any Plec is a poo machine.

I've had an albino gibby and an L-190 royal. It's all about personal preference IMO. My albino gibby was VERY active. Most sociable pleco I've owned.

But since you only give us choice of one, I say Albino Gibby

i've never had a watermelon but you can't get much easier to look after than a gibby and any that i've had anything to do with have been pretty active.

but still would love to have a watermelon
