He's been around about a year, maybe a little longer. I added him in to help out the algae problem since the tank is not in my house. I am not sure if he is a "common" pleco or not. He does do a pretty good job on the glass. It's clean, and I haven't actually cleaned or scraped the glass in almost a year. I'll have to get some pictures after I get everything switched over to the tank hear. They don't get over fed IMHO. Frozen brine, mysis, spirulina, bloodworms, etc... once a day about as much as they can knock down in less than 10 minutes. When I go over there I may spoil them a bit, but it's generally even keeled. I do a water change on average once every month. It varies though as it is not here. The PH does run acidic most of the time. Normally around 6ish.
Anyway, all this is why I need to get the fish moved and into a bigger tank, and here in the process.
