TK421 Posted December 6, 2005 Report Share Posted December 6, 2005 pleco poop is the worst... ive got 8 inch pelcos that cant swim under their own power cause their crap gets wrapped around whatever happens to be in the way. Me thinks that god forgot to put a 'pincher' in this creature. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FishBrain Posted December 6, 2005 Report Share Posted December 6, 2005 I used to use a garden hose with a water bed attachment. Did an ok job but wouldn't pick up the heavy pleco poo, unless it was picking up substrate. You could put an a siphon tube on the end but all said and done you might as well bought a 50foot python, and paid the little extra to save you building time! I own a python now. :ml: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOSStile Posted December 6, 2005 Report Share Posted December 6, 2005 (edited) I have a rather large sailfin pleco that looks like it has brown rope coming out his pooper. With all my tanks and all that poop I decided to go big......... Edited December 6, 2005 by HOSStile Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WRXchic Posted March 5, 2006 Report Share Posted March 5, 2006 I have 12 pleco now, think of how many strings I got wrap around my draft wood. Haha. but they will break down and mix with other Poo at the bottom of the tank. But I still love them. All living objects poo, and they have to be cleaned one way or the other.

HOSStile Posted March 13, 2006 Report Share Posted March 13, 2006 You can always use this method, the trick is knowing when they need to go and matching the water parameters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
