Pleco in planted tank

[Just]

I find pleco done a great job in clearing the algae in non planted tank. Can put pleco in planted tank with cardinal tetra to help cleaning the algae? Which pleco is suitable ?

thank, L183 looks nice. will get one for my planted tank.

Also, L183 is more rare and difficult to spot.

Tell auntie you want ancistrus pleco. the male has got bristles at mouth area.

love it! buy the smallest you can find. the younger one the more hard working

Is it easy to get Albino Ancistrus Pleco?

Just bought 2 L183 about 1" from C328, very nice pleco. How good if they just stay at this size.

[limz_777]

if you are looking for smaller pleco , lda 25 stays at 2 "

LDA 25 quite a interesting pleco. Let me see how L183 doing in my planted tank when they grown up.

i've got 1 L183 in my tank, it's always hiding when light is on and only come out when it's off. super shy fellow. but whenever it's out i will see it on the side of the tank and bogwood didn't disturb my substrate.

Thanks may I know how big is your tank as I wonder if 1 piece is enough for a 322 tank.

[ciaossu]

mine is only a standard 2 ft tank. for the size of your tank maybe you can get 3-4?

My L183 most of the time hiding, occasionally saw them in the glass or blog woods. They didn't disturb the substrate or plants at all. I keep Malayan shrimps which are quite big so they are okay with them.

I got the L183 2 days ago and I didnt see it till this morning before leaving for work. Probably the morning was dark with shower that misled it to be at night.

So far I didnt see it helps in clearing the green dust algae so no choice I got the magnetic scrapper to scrap off the GDA and was annoyed when it pull out my hairgrass below near the glass and I have to replant them again.

L183 does not go for GDA. Read this link to see how to fix it:

I think Nerites might eat this algae.
