    One other thing with pleco's...they like to poop and the bigger they get the more they poop. I had 2 in a 350 litre and had to put on a mega powerful canister to suck it all up. Cleaned out the canister every week and siphoned more up out of the substrate.

    I was actually telling someone about the poop issue! Another reason to have good filtration with these fish!
