FAQs
Plecos are beneficial for fish tanks as they help control algae growth, keeping the tank cleaner. They also mix the substrate, which promotes beneficial bacteria and aids the nitrogen cycle. Generally peaceful, plecos can coexist with many other fish species, making them a good addition to a community aquarium.
