Plenty! Best in my opinion is a Bristlenose Pleco (also called a “bushy nose” Pleco). Occasionally, stores will call them by their general Latin name - Ancistrus. They come in brown, yellow, “super” red, and “green” dragon. Photos below. Males, when mature develop a bunch of strange growths on their nose . . . I think it may be called a copule.

Cleaning planted tank
Fish Folk replied to Elizabeth Power's topic in Plants, Algae, and Fertilizers
This can be a hotly debated question. I remember another media space where my answer to this same question was "yes" and where another aquarist's was adamantly "no." It never actually came to a crossing of swords . . . but it devolved a bit into the immature. All I'll say is this: We used to gravel vac faithfully as you describe. And, after time, like you, it got to be a hassle. So now, I gravel vac where I can, only every other water change. As long as fish are not _overfed_ then what's building up mainly is mulm. I'm not persuaded that mulm is all that bad. Where it's unsightly, there I vac. Otherwise, I let the plants and micro life do their thing. -

Best of luck to you! We've just got a really simple, low, low tech "fish room" that's basically . . . all of the wrong things that need to be simplified / organized to be a "real fish room." Linked a video below anyways. It's really small, and feels just right for us. But as for PROPER fish rooms! -- here's a bunch of thread to pick through: Here's our wee-room . . .

Congratulations!!! It is common for holding female Africans to go without food for 18-21 days. Don’t worry about her. Here’s two ways to proceed... (1) strip the eggs and tumble / remove fry into safe tank or,(2) let her hold and release on her own in a quiet tank. Here’s an example of the first method... And here’s an example of the second approach, with one major error: these were hybrids, and were declined BAP points from our Fish Club, and were unfit to sell...

Want to do a German blue ram tank and need advice.
Fish Folk replied to Stealth Aquatics's topic in General Discussion
If you want to put 20x Rams in there, you can. There will be battles and fights, but there will be enough to sort out a pecking order and disperse aggression. Cherry shrimp can work out alight with them, as long as there’s places to hide. Bristle-nose Plecos work well, but really appreciate wood to harvest food from off of.- 4 replies
