I would like to add a scavenger to my 29 Gallon FW planted tank.
Initially I was thinking about a Bristlenose Pleco, but what bothered me the most was that they can reach 5+ inches in length. I don't really want a fish that big in my tank.....
In another thread it was suggested I consider the Pitbull Pleco.
Based on my review of their characteristics they look like a very good option. They are small (which I greatly desire) at 5-6 cm's and their needs closely resemble my water parameters.
I have a community tank currently stocked with 6 Rasbora Lampchops and 7 Rummy Nose.
I'd like to add a scavenger or two and then a (single) Dwarf Chiclid.
Question #1: What are your thoughts and experiences with the Pitbull's?
Question #2: Are there any other scavengers or options you would suggest?
Question #3: My tank is just recently cycled, it's been less than a week. But I do have brown algae on my glass, slate, wood and gravel. How long should I wait before adding a scavenger such as the Pitbull?
