Boy, if people judged people on the same basis... Wait this is why we have wars.
I would love to have a zebra pleco, too bad I can't afford one. But, it's the only one I like.
A few years ago I got married and I noticed my mother in law had a huge common pleco in their 55gal tank. This bad boy was about 16" +. One weekend while visiting my mother in tried to move the tank and clean behind it and busted a seam. All I know was that I was rushing toward 55 gallons of gushing water. All the little fish were easy to catch but that huge pleco was a total beast. Quite a thrasher actually. It was the first fish I ever has to stop and think about before reaching in. Even my brother inlaw's 19" Red tail cat was easier to catch.

I am with you 100 percent. I also can say i am not fond of plecos. They get big, and lazy, and mine even chases my bichir all day trying to suck its slime coat. I am planning on donating him to a tank with more aggressive fish that will not tolerate his pestering.
I hate them so much i have 200 of them,no lie.I hate there bright contrasting colors,there bold markings,and crazy fins.I hate how there cheap to feed.I hate having a fish remove all the algae from my tanks.I just hate them.
