2 white diamond
2 red ruby (PB)
1 line master yellow (PB)
1 super red scorpion

You actually have 6. I missed the "emperor red" when I did the first count. BTW.. I think there are ridiculous names.
 
that's better, so i have even numbers of PB and none PB. Also i know those names are so confused me 'cause when i was looking to buy them @ LFS and breeders. Some of them look the same to me but have different names. I guess each breeder and area name them different so they attract more buyers like me :) .

Thank you and have a great day :)

Hello guys,

Thank you,

I read somewhere it said there are some plecos like to suck on fish's body, tail or fins.

I take this to mean, you want to add some other fish to help clean the tank?

I use cory cats. They clean up the left over food real nice.

I use one bristle nose to eat algae. (it's "Ok" at cleaning)

The best is an oto sucker. It eats everything, including the black algae crap!
-bad news, mine sucked onto the discus. so i keep him in his own tank, and when i have algae blooms, i use him to clean it up. In 3 days, he took care of my 55gallon
 
Thank you djvue for your info. That 's exactly what i have in mind, so you have a crystal ball and let me borrow some day :) . I really need some helps on cleaning my tank, 'cause it gets dirty very quick. I was thinking about BN pleco, but hard to hide around here and cost more. mostly lfs i see common, tiger and CAE, but don't like them. There is a place selling flash fleco and thinking pick 1 or 2 on the way home from work.
