type of pleco?(noob to plecos)

[DrownedFishonFire]

theres no such thing as cleaning glass plecos

I don't see them having a rag, safe glass cleaner, platform and uniform ready to do your bidding.

Go for a common sailfin!
very hardy but will grow big.
they do a very good job and cleaning but dont only clean glass..
if you want good glass cleaners get algae eaters

not going to rail on anybody but no dice if the guy's asking for a 6-8 incher


to the guy whos asking the question go over to planetcatfish.com and they got a great list of plecos you can do a size search on that site and go over pictures realllllly fast to see what you like and dont like.

good luck

not always- the cichlids are evil with fins/tails causing a pleco's demise- thats where their weakness is-

thats why i never recomend most cichlid with plecos especially africans even my west african dwarf cichlid torn my L066 fins/tail- they're terrors in the tank

I still think they rock!

actually.. there is one type of pleco that will go all around the tank and clean..

I have a giant 10" chocolate pleco.. i do feed it cucumbers with my royal plecos.. but somehow.. my chocolate prefers the algae off the glass... so ya..

try chocolate
