Default Keeping a new tank w/ live plants algae free?

*Note: There are TWO "Koi-Lo's" on this NG*

That depends on which of the half-dozen unrelated species commonly labeled
"clown pleco" you happen to get. Many are not reliable algae eaters at
all.

==================
Yes, I read this, but I'm fortunate in that mine are excellent algae eaters.
But they're very shy and nocturnal. I seldom see them. They stay hidden
all the time and come out around lights-out. If I move quickly they're gone
in a flash!
