I never had cared much for plecos but lately I've become a fan. Everyone has said how good at cleaning a tank they can be so I put some to the test by putting 2 in a 29 gallon holding tank that had that brown algae growing on the sides and bottom. Within 24 hours, these guys have the surfaces looking like a mirror 8O ! I'll put one in every tank I have now!
plecos really cleaned-up!

See? I think every FW tank should have a pleco.

i agree
I felt the same way...i never really wanted a pleco but someone gave me three for free and I put them in my tanks...within a day or two both tanks were scrubbed clean. Particularly the decor.
I will always try to have one in each tank i set up

I keep one small pleco in 3 of 5 FW aquaria in my home. I rarely have to do anything about algae and love how clean they keep everything.
My 10 gal quarrantine/snail factory has no pleco so my snails have lots of food to grow.

Well, you have a choice:
Regular brown bristlenose on left, albino on right.

I have a pleco in every tank. Partly due to JC's assimilation
