Pleco or otos?
So, for the last three weeks I have not been able to devote the several hours neccessary for me to clean my tank. As it is still very new it does have a variety of algae, the most prevalent being orangey diatoms and white, whispy thread algae. It’s really not too bad for three weeks growth, but it begs the question: should I get some algae eating fish?
I had decided a while back that I would really like a bushy-nose plecostamus. With all this growth of nice, soft, filmy algae that I’m relatively sure a pleco won’t bother with on all the plants, however, I’m starting to think that maybe a trio of otos would be a better choice. The thing is, my tank already looks so busy…the idea of adding so many more fish doesn’t seem to be a good one. I know my tank can “handle” a few more, but can I? I just don’t know what to choose; a pleco or otos.
