Uncle Dirty said:I have a piece of ceramic that looks like a tree and roots. It looked good in my tank and my pleco would hide in it. The problem is that the pleco would crap inside it. Guess what, I pulled it out and the smell from it almost knocked me off my feet. I kept it out if the tank because I can only imagine the amount of ammonia that would pile up and not get vacuumed out during pwc's. Something to think about when you use these type of decorations.
