[longbrro]

hay guy how r u all..........
i have 180 letter fresh tank.......i have many fishes in it......but wht is the perfect fish for garbage and algae eating ......not only algae but also eats garbage and uneaten foods.

I would go with a bristle nose pleco....eat algae well when young and uneaten foods like a vacuum cleaner.

i have 2 of those............but they spend the whole day sleeping.........do u have any other kind ?

Otocinclus are good. Snails are really good at taking care of extra food. Siamese Algae Eaters are also supposed to be good.

If you're looking for something to eat fish waste, I think you're out of luck.

i had major algae problem in my 33gal tank. had that nasty brown algae covering 50% of the tank surface. I bought one tiny sailfin pleco and 3 days later the entire tank was spotless...i love those plecos...they really do go to work.

BNP's are nocturnal, not sure if its due to size or not but m BNP's and RNP's stay well hidden during daylight hours.

and sleep all day when the lights is on ???
