I just re-entered the room w/ our aquarium to find our common pleco (girls have named him sticky...) on a leaf of my big amazon sword. "He" was just "going to town" on a leaf that had a couple of tiny spots of green algae and he moved over to the leaf edge where a fairly significant amount of dying BBA was. It seemed to intensify the "munching" action and you could see the BBA disappearing where he had been! I watched a little closer and saw that some of it was floating away in the current, but not enoughto account for all that had been removed from the leaf!

I just thought that was interesting...
 
Now the little albino bristlenose is cleaning a leaf! Though he isn't getting close to the leaf edge like Sticky.
