I have a 60G at 80F. Im looking to get something outside of the Com Plecos i have 2 already. This spec should stay under the 1 foot and can clean the rocks and walls. What are those fish called that are small but not Plecos that clean? oh and the tank is housing what is on the list down below.
 
The only ones that will clean somewhat that stay that large that aren't commons are royals. Otocinclus are what you are thinking of, but they will not work with a texas and GT. You should look for a pleco for the looks, and not to do work for you. Very few will do a good job, and most will cause more growth than they clean.
 
Well im going to start cleaning the walls myself and I dont have anyidea how im going to clean my rocks.. I have like 12 rocks and they are holding plants down and caves.. So i dont really want to clean them cuz every time i pull the rocks out to clean them i forget where they came from.

Im going to look for a nice Looking Pleco next time am at the LFS's. Royals do some what of a clean job? like for my rocks? How big do they get? Im also starting to give my Com Plecos other food's NO luck so how are Royals on other foods?
 
Royals as well as many other plecos need wood in their diet. As to them cleaning the rock, a few plecos will clean to an extent, but if offered proper foods, they won't pay much attention to the rocks. If you have plants, then you probably have a decent light. If you have a decent light, then you can get java moss, or christmas moss to put on the rocks, and it will attach itself to the rocks, or anubias are another option.
 
What do u mean by wood? Suck on it tell its Gone? Ive been told his but never asked Why... Does it take years to eat all the wood or is it just eating that stuff that grows on it.

I don't really want moss on the rocks. They are round and smooth And match.... O.o
