i'm lookin into a type of algae eater for my 55g African tank (Mbunas most likely). Did some research and basicly came back with mixed results. Some people say certain plecos do better than others, some people say all will do fine, and i've read some instances of many types gettin shredded up.
I been looking at a Green Phantom (unique in color and max size is around 7" compared to the common pleco's 1-2'). For people that own or know about GREEN PHANTOMS or L200's, I would love to hear from someone with first hand experience, because like i said, I've found very mixed answers so far.
I understand that plecos grow slowly, and i can always return a common back to the lfs once it outgrows, but i plan on keeping these fish for many many years and would hate to have to give up someone i have gotten attached to due to size issues...
thanks everyone, this forum has quickly become my favorite site on the web!
