I have a Fahaka who will be a year old in November. He's still close to 6in. I was wondering if anyone has had any luck with plecos? A friend of mine is rehoming a 9in pleco and I have been fighting a battle with algae since my home has an abundance of natural light. Anyone try this before? I tried a tetra in his tank once and he hunted it so I took it out. With the size of this fish if it doesn't work I'm going to have to start a 55 gallon just for this guy. Which I have a spare 55 so no worries if that happens. Just would be nice to know if anyone else has tried.
