1)how good are these cats at eating algae(and don't worry ill very their diet with other stuff)? and 2)how much do these fish crap?
Additional info:
Im interested in getting one of each of these cats. Algae on the glass is my second worst nightmare right behind actually having to scrape algae off the glass. i've had a marble sail fin pleco for almost a year now and he is about 6.5" long. i recently bought a rhino pleco for my 20 gallon tank to keep the algae gone and i was told they crap as much as any other pleco but whoever told me that was wrong. my rhino LITERALLY filled half footprint the tank with crap in 3 days. crap had filed the holes in the sand and it was over everything and piling up, it was gross. he is 2" long and craps more in 3 days than my MSP does in two months. I'm going to move him to another tank where his crap can't fill the entire hole in which my small raphael catfish USED to hide in. as he can't hide in it anymore because it literally filled up with crap. this is really bugging me and i am considering to get a both of those cats(one to clean my 26 bowfront and the other for my 20). I've already researched the two but can't find anything on the two questions i ask(i also know from experience some algae eaters are better than other) plus i think those to cats, especially the whiptail, look really cool.
