Aquarium Advice Regular
I recently purchased a Snowball Pleco with the hopes that he would clean all the algae from my glass. The lfs owner was ranting and raving about how the plecs are voracious when it comes to algae. (Reminded me of the commercial with the group of scrub brushes that run all over the bathroom cleaning it up till it gave a sparkly shine.....anyone?)
Anyways, he just sits on the bottom and likes to hide in my colliseum ornament. So I try to inspire him by picking up the ornament, which he will then swim out of, but then he finds a nice comfy spot to lay and do nothing but push water over his gills. I still have the same amount of algae I had when I bought him. In fact, I'd say it's actually increasing. Any suggestions?
