Plus, plecos produce a ton of waste, and five to seven gallons of water is not nearly enough water for a pleco, even a three to four inch one.Wed, 30 Sep 2009 04:54:02 GMTGranthttp://board.reptilechannel.com/Topic102559-5-1.aspxMOST plecos get over a foot long...not all <img align="absmiddle" src="http://board.reptilechannel.com/Skins/Reptile/Images/EmotIcons/BigGrin.gif" border="0" title="BigGrin"><br>but a lot of the cool lookin little ones are expensive, and toad toxins did not cross my mind, i'm not an amphibian keeper obviously lolTue, 29 Sep 2009 20:37:55 GMTSinkarnatehttp://board.reptilechannel.com/Topic102559-5-1.aspxI clean the tank every week, i do have a filter.

That can help, also another way of preventing alagea from growing is cleaning the cage often with, like Maximum said, a tooth brush or any type of brush. You have to use some elbow grease though...<P>Geez Grant, you posted when I was posting....Mon, 28 Sep 2009 18:32:13 GMTSteve 95http://board.reptilechannel.com/Topic102559-5-1.aspxPlecos are a type of fish that eat algae. They would not do well at all in that set up. Most types of plecostamous you will see will grow to over a foot long at alarming rates. Do not get a pleco.</P><P>Yep, scrub it with a toothbrush until all the algae comes off. That is the only way to get rid of it. In the future, provide less light to that area and give it a weekly scrub with the toothbrush to avoid another outbreak of algae like this one.Mon, 28 Sep 2009 18:31:42 GMTGranthttp://board.reptilechannel.com/Topic102559-5-1.aspxI'm not sure what a pleco is...an algae eater?</P><P>toothbrush...can i use it after i get the algae off? lol ewMon, 28 Sep 2009 14:47:37 GMTherpsrule13http://board.reptilechannel.com/Topic102559-5-1.aspxExcept when they die from the firebelly toad's toxins. <img align="absmiddle" src="http://board.reptilechannel.com/Skins/Reptile/Images/EmotIcons/Blink.gif" border="0" title="Blink"> <br><br><br>Mon, 28 Sep 2009 13:45:27 GMTMaximumhttp://board.reptilechannel.com/Topic102559-5-1.aspxpsh.... pleco's are more fun >.>Mon, 28 Sep 2009 13:10:54 GMTSinkarnatehttp://board.reptilechannel.com/Topic102559-5-1.aspxGet a toothbrush and start scrubbing.Mon, 28 Sep 2009 12:42:10 GMTMaximumhttp://board.reptilechannel.com/Topic102559-5-1.aspxGet a pleco!!! <img align="absmiddle" src="http://board.reptilechannel.com/Skins/Reptile/Images/EmotIcons/BigGrin.gif" border="0" title="BigGrin">Mon, 28 Sep 2009 12:39:55 GMTSinkarnatehttp://board.reptilechannel.com/Topic102559-5-1.aspxhow do i remove this algae off of my divider?</P><P><img onload = "resizeThis(this)" src="http://board.reptilechannel.com/Uploads/Images/dd7a1d90-f064-4a1a-89c6-be26.JPG">Mon, 28 Sep 2009 12:12:44 GMTherpsrule13
