I adopted a pleco that previously lived in a green, filthy 20 gal aquarium.
To make long story short, we started 3 tanks approx 2 mo ago, take very good care, & will probably have no visible algae.
Petco person told me to buy algae tablets, but I think the mollies get to it before Paco does. Primarily he hangs out on the filter. Sometimes inside the castle. He doesn't complain but I'm wondering if he is going to survive in an environment that shows no visible algae. He NEVER cruises the glass sides of the tank.
