Comments: This dwarf Pleco does eat algae but often it will not clean up a tank. It prefers meaty foods to algae. It is also very shy so provide many hiding places, driftwood, and a dark bottom. It will defend its favorite cave against other fish. Feed this fish algae wafers, sinking pellets, and blanched lettuce or cucumbers
