try some zucchini squash too, mine stays attached to zucchini almost all day long. i dont' know what you mean by daily cleaning, but i would advise against doing daily water changes at least until he settles in a bit. if you've got good filtration, which is sounds like you do, you don't really need to worry about the bioload that much. the stress from changing that much water can be enough to keep him from getting comfortable and eating, and eventually enough to kill him.

i dont want to seem like i'm telling you what to do, just a little advice from my experiences with small plecos.


by daily cleaning I mean using a turkey baster to suck up all the crap. :drool:
its amazing how much waist two raphy cats a female bristle nose and a gib can produce. it ends up keeping the water params more stable cause they are in a drift wood tank meaning they have acidic water probably I need a pH meter so by doing micro changes daily I can avoid that once a week parameter swing
 
very sad but now I am soo phyched mine is much brighter than before its stomach isnt caved in and its fins are opened to to mention my female bristle nose isnt afraid of me and comes when she sees me chop up her food then darts to it when I put it down its soo cute
