Is there a fish or invert out there that eats Fish crap? I just put a 6" or 7" pleco in my 125g. He completely ate all the algae in my tank. the intire back glass and all my rocks were covered in agae and this was in a 24hr time frame. Then he pooped it all out on my white sand. and his crap is bigger than rat crap. But this pleco rocks

ah yes the elusive poop eating fish. Short answer yes there is. Its called a scat, and it is a SW fish that can be converted into a fw fish.

the scat fish is pretty cool looking. i would not mind having one. But how well would they do in a strictly fresh water cichlid tank?

I'd think the only way to remove poop is the filter or vac it out. Think about it, if a fish eats the poop what is that fish going to do. Poop. So its a never ending cycle.

true but maybe it would be smaller poop and not huge poop

I doubt theres a fish that would regulary eat poo because theres virtually no nutritional value and its all the bad stuff anyway. Some noobs think plecs eat poo. They dont.

Very true. I know plecos dont eat poop, he ate all the algae in my 125g over night. i just thought there might be some creature out there that would break it down some.
