could i throw in a pleco? ive been doing 40% water changes starting yesterday

 

[Dial92]

my opinion of plecos is that they just cause more waste unless you like the fish its self dont get one to clean your tank

i had a chinese algae eater buy it kept trying to suck on my bichir so i threw him in my other tank.

Most plecos other then royals will likely end up sucking on your endi causing him to die.

wouldnt a bichir eat a chinese algae eater?

depending on it's size, yes, the algae eater can be eaten by the polypterus.
also, agree with dial92, plecos make such a great amount of waste.

algae eater was same size as bichir and the pleco is smaller than bichir im just monitoring them and keeping the pleco well fed with algae disks
