try this.... you can float the cuccumber either make a slit in the cuccumber and insert an algae wafer or lay it on top of the cuccumber. He might not no wha it is yet. I think someone mentioned bogwood maybe id would get some of that as well for him. Ive never had a problem with my pleco...

i know for a fact the snails will the hermits ........................... not sure about them but they will clean up any excess food that eventually gets trapped under the sand.

I was just interested thats all. Ive heard owners have trouble feeding any kind of eels.

you could try hermits or arrangement of snails

I heard of a snail that latches onto others and drills a hole in the other snails shell to eat them not sure if this is happening but you should know it is out there

sand sifting starfish if you have the room are requirements for one

why would they have to hire anyone? Use the customers. If numerous calls are made about a particular store you could send someone out to investigate (almost like an Auditor). Whether or not that is cost effective or could judge the care im not sure about. Im just think saying that LFS are better...

my bad I commented as though we were discussing a common pleco which get at least 12 inches long. clown pleco would be fine in the 10 gallon. I have a common pleco and when I read the reply I was thinking common not clown

lol yea defintly they are fun creatures Im glad I got them. Started with two decided they needed a friend and then went to pick up some food and bought another one hahaha

You bet. They are fun fish and really do swim like schools of fish. They're fun after eating they all swim against the the filter current. Not really sure why although it might be because i drop a little food there for the yo yo loaches to get. They are fast eaters and try to gulp everything. I...
