I have a lot of driftwood in my tanks - I think it's Malaysian - it's getting kind of spongy. I assume that this is normal over time (Please let me know!!) At any rate, when handling it, it feels spongy, and small pieces break off easily - so I'm thinking that something that eats wood (pleco?) would help break down the wood more naturally, rather than have little pieces break off at random. At the same time, I'd like something that would also eat algae/slime off of the glass. I do water changes twice weekly, but it would be good to have a little help on the side.

To make a long story short - I'm looking for something that isn't too common, otherwise I'd just get some common plecos. Open to any suggestions. Nothing delicate, or "iffy." Maybe albino, or chocolate pleco? Others ?

I'm also looking for an albino black shark - must be beyond the fragile 2 inch stage.

Ship or pickup in MA, 01950. Thanks!
