Hi there everybody! I have a 3inch Albino Pleco, and he is in a tank with my Oscar (5-6inches)
Everything is cool the Oscar stop bullying the Pleco after a little getting use too....
Anyways I had problem with the Alge growing on too the glass so that was when I decided to get a Pleco,
Anyways the problem was fixed... or so I thought

Now even with the pleco in the tank the Alge came back again.... and I'm not sure if I should just clean it by hand, or should
I just let the pleco take care of it..... :| I honestly thought this issues was resolved......

Sorry asking such a noob question.... Please give me your guy's thoughts,opinions, and words of advice....
Thanks~
 
Plecos will seek after the easier food, if there is uneaten food in the bottom of the tank they will gladly eat the food and not touch the algea. You should get more plecos ;) you can never have too many you know!

Thank you for the reply;
And I was assuming the same exact thing... cause honestly... I'm a lazy ass... LOL so yeah...
But I only have a 55 Gallon tank at the moment... What kind of Plecos should I get?
 
What kind of pleco do you have? There are several species that eat algae as juveniles, but need meatier foods as they mature.
 
Keeping the light on all the time and having the tank near a window were sun light hit it dnt help either.
 
Broken pleco dnt want to clean why scrub with your hand when you can get MAG FLOAT!
