ive read on one source that the candy stripe pleco is a good algae eater. however, ive also read peoples' experiences with them that say the contrary, that they're not very good at all. any one have experience with the candy stripe pleco and algae eating? if it's not very good for the job, then what's a smaller pleco that would be better? thanks

IME...I have found that Oto Cats are EXCELLENT for keepinga tank nice and clean. I got mine for about $1.66 each, and my tank is squeeky clean.
My candy stripes (clowns) are great little algae munchers but they are quite lazy and dont usually stry far from thier favourite hideouts.Otto cats and amano shrimps are a much better choice as are bristlenose pl*cos.
I just bought what the LFS calls a clown pleco..(you know how them LFS have all kinds of names for their fish and they arent always right)......Do you have any pics of them haggisman, so i can identify them to the ones I got? Or do you know of any good sites that may have? Id appreciate it big time. Plus whats the scientific name for them? :thm:
