I was just interested as to see what kind of plecos you guys keep! I love plecos, and, even though I've only got one at the moment, I plan on getting more in the future! What would you suggest? Attached at the bottom are recently taken (and edited) pics of my common pleco. (I should really rearrange my substrate.)

Picked up a couple of small Albino Bristlenose yesterday to control algae in my 29 gallon.

I hope your plecos do more algae control than mine used to. He sucks on my airstone tubes and the wall of my tank now, but prior to this he would just suck on the roof of one of my caves and sit there all day!

I've been seeing a lot more of the marbled whiptails popping up lately. Almost bought two more today.

Where are you located? If you happen to be in SoCal I can tell you where to find all three...
