Don't know what type of pleco, but am determined NOT to put any pleco in any plastic tank.Anita ----- Original Message ----- From: welenofsky@comcast.net<mailto:welenofsky@comcast.net> To: GSAS Member<mailto:gsas-member@thekrib.com> Sent: Thursday, March 17, 2005 3:33 PM Subject: [GSAS-Member] Royal Pleco and AlgaeI was wondering if anyone had a Royal Pleco. I've read that their teeth can scratch acrylic tanks. Does anyone have any personal experience with this fish?Does anyone know where I can get a bristlenose pleco?My tank went completely out of wack with the algae after I did several water changes (fill and empty 3 or 4 times), moved it across the living room (25 feet), broke the $35 actinic bulb, and didn't add liquid fertilizer. I was wondering if the actinic had UV qualities to kill algae.It's interesting that some of the plants, which grew real well, like the bacopa, and a big-leaved crypt, got infested with the algae, while others, like the Eichhornia diversifolia, the African Lotus, and the reddish plant I got from Paul are doing great, and algae free. What is that red plant Paul? It looks wonderful.Susan _______________________________________________ GSAS-Member mailing list GSAS-Member@thekrib.com<mailto:GSAS-Member@thekrib.com>http://lists.thekrib.com/mailman/listinfo/gsas-member<http://lists.thekrib.com/mailman/listinfo/gsas-member>_______________________________________________ GSAS-Member mailing list GSAS-Member@thekrib.com http://lists.thekrib.com/mailman/listinfo/gsas-member
