| Plecos 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. 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.

| Yea, plecos are those alagea eating weird fish. Do you 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... Geez Grant, you posted when I was posting....
