| Well; IMO Pleco is not the name these little creatures need, it should be "Poopco's" I added 1-1 1/2 " albino BN to my newly hatched Angels tank for clean up, and to see if it was safe for the baby Angels. 12 hrs later I went and looked and almost fainted when I saw all that poop on the bottom of the tank! Now I know why I have a dirt problem in my 55 gal. I have 6-8 BN pleco's in there. I do a 50% WC every week, and it still smells like dirt, and my filters are removed and changed every week too. The tank is my Angel Grow Out tank, and holds a few Endler's as well. Have I got too many Poopco's in my tank:?: Needed to ask, as we are doing a total changeover, gravel wash, and restart tomorrow. | |

| Hi,do you gravel vac regularly? They are poop machines that's for sure.When you say smells like dirt,do you mean like soil or like poop? Bristlenoses | |
