Having problems with my pleco!

I have a gold nuget pleco that started to clean the tank but now he doesn't. I'm wondering if I should take him back and get a different algae eater. Any opinions?

Hi tfishie...if your nitrates are still at 40, do at least a 25% water change and treat the new water with prime if you have chlorine etc in the tap water...pleco's dont like high nitrates and im sure he would take care of things after the water is changed..under 20 and more like 10-15 is great for nitrates....goodluck!

Which Gold Nugget Pleco do you have? You could try checking these links to see which one is yours and what they like to eat, etc. I think only the last one (L177) cares for algae.

If you want an algae eater, get a bristlenose pleco. One will keep your glass and most ornaments spotlessly clean.
