The first few years I had fish tanks, I always had a pleco or two to
keep the tanks clean. They are like "mini-hoovers". Fascinating fish to
watch, especially the way they suck along the sides of the tank and swim
upside down on water surface to feed. I always had some lettuce or
spinach leaves on clip inside tanks for them. I never had one in a pond.
As already mentioned, not a good idea in zone 5.

I always named my plecos Mick Jagger or Steve Tyler (those big lips LOL)
