Ever since I got my 4 bristlenose cats I've noticed that their waste accumulates around the driftwood. Every week I've got to lift up the driftwood to keep it clean in these areas of the 100 gallon tank. I cannot believe how messy they are! I'm wondering if corydoras are as bad with waste???

EXTREMELY more poopy than cories. I rescued a common pleco from a friend who had him in a 10 gallon. She bought him labeled as a bristlenose...anyway, he is about 7 inches right now....you would not believe the amount of poo in my tank from that one fish. It is incredible!

Yeah I prefer Cories. They're more fun too. Always messing around and poking at stuff, sometimes my guys swim all the way to the top and break the surface with their dorsal and just swim along the front glass having fun XD
