How could you not love this fish? Ulgy as sin,oh yes,but then again so am I,and people still love me!!!!! What I mean is it has a bit of ulgy charm about it. Its kept by nearly everone at one stage,although it can get very big!!! There are \"better\" algae eaters out there,but for \"cheap as chips\" money you get a good little algae eater.

I love my plecos. He can even be pretty with the lights turned on in the tank and his belly markings show up. Really cheap, they keep the walls clean, they leave other fish alone, and they\'re really fun to watch when they suck on the walls.

Cheapist alge-eater on the face of the planet, almost. Sure they\'re ugly, but hey better to have a clean tank with it then a dirty tank without it. Before my mom retired she had a tank in her office with one of these guys and I liked to sit on one of the chairs in the waiting room to watch him. Just about the best \"tankbuster\" you could get.

They do seem to grow rather quickly, but if you get a healthy one they are pretty hardy. I\'d suggest not buying one until you\'ve had your tank up and going for a while. That way they have some algea readily available. Generally mine leaves the other fish alone. But he does get upset and he\'ll stop eating if any of the other fish are fighting. I have discovered I can\'t keep knife fish, they swim too close to him, and he\'ll cut them with his sharp fins. Not intentionally, just in a, \'give me my space\' kind of way.

Not very attractive, but an important addition to any established tank. Cleaned up all my brown algae in 3 days.
