Thinking of getting Plecos! LFS site I have says they stick to the aquarium walls using their mouth! My concern having an acrylic tank is, would having Pleco's scratch the acrylic tank? :thanks:
 
No, a pleco will not scratch the acrylic. I have kept various suck mouthed fish in acrylic tanks and never had an issue. :)
Just a note, make sure to look carefully at which species of pleco you want and research it beforehand. A lot of them turn into giants and need very large tanks in order to live to their full potential.
