BN pleco's are definitely much better at keping the tank clean. CAE's do get aggressive when they get larger. They have a nasty habit of sucking the slime coat off of other fish. Large, aggressive fish aren't a problem, they keep the CAE's in their place. Still, they're generally more trouble then useful.bristlenose/bushynose plecos are lot more effective at algae consumption and they max out at about 5".
