M Mystus Redtail Fire Eel MFK Member Jun 8, 2007 2,154 3 68 Fishing in Wisconsin Feb 27, 2009 #2 Pleco's don't and I'm pretty sure loaches don't either. I think that's just a myth.

Idk if there are more that do but hey those will never go hungry in the amazon. Scats will sometimes eat fish waste but don't feed exclusively on it.
