Does anyone know what kind of algae these guys eat? I was just at the lfs and they had some that looked pretty cool. It's for a 29g that is still cycling but will most likely get algae because of low light and direct sun. They only get 5" so I think it is alright for my size tank. Anything else I should know about them? I'm seriously thinking about getting one when my tank is done cycling.

um they will eat most glass type algae and algae that grows on rocks. You can also feed algae wafers to them once and a while to make sure they are eating. For a 29 gallon tank that pleco should do well depending what tank mates u choose for him. Plecos are really strong fish and are always a pretty good choice.
