some one

someone told me that you can keap a pleco with him but i dont belive him

Piranas know can flip over plecos. They will then eat the soft underbelly.

You may consider just buying ghost shrimp several dozen at a time, if you can find the right place you may be able to get them as cheap as a dollar a dozen. They will cleanup the bottom of the tank and when they get picked off it's know big deal. They can be food and cleaners.
