God this gives me memories. When I was little my grandman used to own one of these. She had a warm fish aquarium with several species of fish, but this one was my favorite just how weird it was. The other fish would came and go, but that little bastard persisted during my whole childhood, he even survived a severe skin effection. Infortunaly my grandman got to old to take care of the aquarium, so she had to sell it along with the fish, and I haven't seen one of this ever since. Thanks for the nostalgia trip.
We had the biggest placo on the planet that my parents said was 15 years old. Don’t know if that’s true or possible but growing up I always remember that bugger being in our fish tanks. At one point he was almost as big if not bigger than our giant Oscar that we housed with him. He was a trooper. Placos are awesome.
I had one for 6 years and it got too big for the tank. I put it in a pond outside..3 years later I find him swimming around the algea in the shallows and I walked right over and picked him up. He doubled in size and weighed no less than 8 lbs.
Pleco are invasive species. There are a ton of videos where locals released pleco that had overgrown their tank into small ponds, they voraciously ate up all algae and smaller food that other fish eat and overpopulated the lake killing all the other fish. Check out florida pond pleco videos. They are pleading aquarium hobbiers to avoid releasing plecos into ponds or down the toilet bowl. They have become an infestation and difficult to kill. Also, they arent so edible.
I bought my common pleco back in 2005 and last summer I put him in my pond and is still doing really well and now has plenty of room the rest of his life….
Had a common pleco for my first fish in my first tank. Never realized just how big these guys can get but thought they were cool nonetheless. Named him Guke and had him for 8yrs. Now I got a sailfin pleco named Gunk (I'm not that imaginative in naming things).
I had a smaller one of these. It did a great job cleaning the aquarium and was one of the main reasons I didn't have to scrub the walls every week. It did a great job cleaning the algae
Random, but if any of you are thinking on getting a pleco, please consider that the species in this video can grow Past a foot long. They get big. I recommend a bristlenose or clown pleco because that species will grow 3-5in, so they’re more suitable for smaller aquariums. Shrimp are also great! Might get eaten by other fish though.
Miss my Plec, it lived for close to 18 years and enjoyed being under its log. Got along with many different breeds of fish too. Great little sucker it was.
Post 10. I have gone through most of your videos from way back when. They are all interesting. I love critters especially turtles and tortoises so Tonka is my fave.

one of the best fish to keep in an aquarium.... I had this fish for the last 4-5yrs..... still works like charm.... never harm no other fish, nd keeps aquarium as new.
may I know what food do you feed the pleco? I've been getting stories from people around me on how their plecos are harming their tankmates (I strongly believe one of the reasons is because of the over crowdedness) I'm planning on buying the wafers soon. But for now I'm just giving them cucumber slices few times a week.
that's an awesome tank! I used to have an Aquaponics setup in my living room, it was only a 10 gallon tank but it was fun to watch! I had fish and snails.
These are my favorite type of fish as a kid. Because of how funny they looked and also watching their mouths. I own one right now and I literally always stare at it cleaning the tank whenever I’m bored. Watching fish really kills boredom.
Just for anyone with a fish tank, algae is only part of this fishes diet. It must eat other things as well. Also, if you have an algae problem, adding a fish will only make things worse. It's best to find a solution (more frequent water changes or reducing light)
Or just also plan to buy shrimp pellets and algae wafers... They are the best fish imo... every tank needs one species or another... you get there are smaller... ehh whatever... its probably the most adaptable fish in the pet store...
@@debobratodas7241 The only reason that Pleco is eating that Algae is because its looking for food. Its eating scraps because their is nothing left. Its also practical, you do it in your own life. You eat a variety of food because they provide different nutritional benefits
Parents: stop watching these god damn “memes” Me: But they’re amazing Parents: I don’t care, watch anything else but memes please Me 2 hours later: **fish eating algae**
The common pleco...one of the most widely mistreated fish in almost everyone's aquatic setup. Sure, they consume mostly a plant based diet, but brown tank algae (non photosynthetic algae) is less than satisfactory for their body's needs. Be sure to also supplement him in some good nutrition!
Mike so hard to get them food when there are other fish in the tank. I drop wafers in the dead of night and my 9 inch clown loach somehow still gets them instead
In college, I used to have an algae eater (I can't remember the breed, but he was a little cylindrical one, kinda silver and gray). Because algae never grew in my tank, I'd always swipe a cucumber slice from the dining hall for him, and he used to love them. I'd see him latch on and go to town on it.
My brother's preschool had a tank with one of these. Whenever I had a day off of school I would beg my mom to take me with her when she picked him up because then I'd get to see it. Its favorite spot seemed to be trying to suck the algae out of the crevices in a little stone bridge decoration. So cute
@@triniscaper3824 theres always 1 int there.... My tank aint green... Its pristine clean! I'm not a novice at this. I am very experienced looking after fish...

They’re so adorable! I remember being a very little kid and struggling to pronounce the name, so I was told I could just call them Mr./Mrs. Janitor :3 I still do honestly

I just found this page trhough the good ol algorithm after watching a bunch of ecosphere videos and I am not disappointed. I struggle with anger issues from bipolar disorder and videos like this help relax me
For anyone watching this wanting one for their tank: DON’T. Common plecos like this one get to about 2 feet long, sometimes more. They need at least a 75 gallon tank to truly thrive. Plus they poop a LOT- you’d need to keep up with a lot of maintenance to make sure your ammonia, nitrate, and nitrite are all in check.
You get lots of different breeds of pleco , I have my clown pleco he will only get to about 10” please do your research and don’t plaster wrong info out to people who might genuinely want one
@@laneychristie5808 I really think the common pleco shouldn't be sold as often as it is at most pet stores, as they do get quite big. Smaller species like bristlenose plecos should be more widely available to keep people who aren't aware of the common plecos full size from buying them and ending up with a massive fish they cant keep up with.
I had an 18 inch long pleco as a kid named Pops, he was 18 years old when he died. I could sit and watch him for hours suck on the glass. Their little mouths are just so cute 😩
@@ThatOneMalaysianGuy Clown plecos are the better of the smaller pleco breeds. Rubber lips were always sensitive with me. Maybe it was the fish store selling them sick. I’ve had 3 clown plecos in my community 50 gallon for 2 years now lasted way longer than the rubber lip.
I would say quite the opposite. Personally I dislike common plecos simply because of how people think that they can get a fish to clean for them. And they are a nuisance in the wild. IMO there are much better algae cleaning solutions
Super efficient never seen anything like before I could do with them cleaning my windows. Post 10 really enjoyed watching the suckerfish thank you 🙂🙂🙂👍.
Rosemary Walker also called janitor fish in my place Tho i dont recommend it throwing /leaving it to any bodies of water when u get tired of it cuz they multiply fast and theyll become pest
When I was a kid, my dad had a fish tank and he had one of those sucker fish. We called him "Jaws". He was the biggest fish in the tank and it looked a little bit like Bruce.
For those thinking of getting a pleco for there tank they need a variety of diet within there food they don't just eat algae they eat bloodworm, shrimp, beef heart, algae vegetable tablets and food pellets. People have this misconception that they eat poop and keep tank clean, while it's true they help maintain tank cleaniest they do not eat poop. There called bottom feeders because they eat what food they find on the bottom. You still have to gravel clean your tank bottom substrate and do a regular water changes at least 20% weekly or every 2 weekly. For those of you decide to do a monthly water change it will be a 50 % water change.
@@lburrsshinyhunts2253 not all plecos will eat the algae , every pleco are different like I stated there not just algae eaters. Best thing for algae that will clear the glass is a ZEBRA SNAIL there fantastic slow but fast at clearing it up, they cannot breed as they need brackish water for that.
@@lburrsshinyhunts2253 get your pleco a cucumber to feed on or spinach to eat. Watch some youtube videos on what to feed a pleco. A mixed diet is a healthy diet
What a gorgeous fish I love these fish's personalitys there not just a cleaning catfish to me there like my gouramis and tetra with there own funny personalitys
When I was very young we had a suckered fish named George and he would do this all day to the tank his tank mate was a gold fish ...but yeah he did his job amazingly as the only time algae grew was a day after he passed on . He lived to be 12 and a half years old ( edit this video is super relaxing to watch because I loved to watch him )
Love my plecos man. I have 3 commons right now in my 55 long but about to rehome one of them to a a 40 gallon long tank. They get the job done. I havent scrubbed my glass since i got them. They even eat the algae from the filter intake

Looks like he is eating my carpet but the camera clipped through the floor
With this disco music and the fish chomping reminds me of the old days of raves and seeing people dancing and chomping on disco biscuits
This fish: NOM
Me, and probably you: *interesting*
Pleco: NOM NOM NOM NOM NOM NOM NOM NOM
Plecos are my absolute favorite though, I have a bristlenose named Monty :)
Monica Geller : I'm gonna adopt uuuuuu😯😃😍
I love how its a party music in the background, but the video is just a fish eating algae
The music just makes this video 10 times better
Idk why, but i always loved watching these fish in aquariums
2:59 Omnomnomn... Yuck!
Idk think people understand how much of a life saver these creatures can be 👁👄👁
I would say quite the opposite. Personally I dislike common plecos simply because of how people think that they can get a fish to clean for them. And they are a nuisance in the wild. IMO there are much better algae cleaning solutions
@@sonofaquack6987 Oh shut up
Love those guys they are definitely the hardest workers in a fish tank
wow, our little friend is really going to town with the algae here! Great video :))
Super efficient never seen anything like before I could do with them cleaning my windows. Post 10 really enjoyed watching the suckerfish thank you 🙂🙂🙂👍.
Rosemary Walker Just fill your house with water and he’ll be cleaning your windows a no time
Rosemary Walker also called janitor fish in my place
Tho i dont recommend it throwing /leaving it to any bodies of water when u get tired of it cuz they multiply fast and theyll become pest
...aaaahhh I’m sorry man but I have to say it. Please call them plecos. Or at least not suckerfish. It’s really just a trigger word for me
@@sonofaquack6987 Grow a pair
RUclips: hey you bored
Me: So bored
RUclips: can I interest you in some cleaning domaine without having to leave the couch?
Me: God yessssss
When I was a kid, my dad had a fish tank and he had one of those sucker fish. We called him "Jaws". He was the biggest fish in the tank and it looked a little bit like Bruce.
when i was a child i had a big tank that only had 5 of these. tree big ones and two little ones.
i still miss them =')
For those thinking of getting a pleco for there tank they need a variety of diet within there food they don't just eat algae they eat bloodworm, shrimp, beef heart, algae vegetable tablets and food pellets. People have this misconception that they eat poop and keep tank clean, while it's true they help maintain tank cleaniest they do not eat poop. There called bottom feeders because they eat what food they find on the bottom. You still have to gravel clean your tank bottom substrate and do a regular water changes at least 20% weekly or every 2 weekly. For those of you decide to do a monthly water change it will be a 50 % water change.
Well put.
I have one of these and he doesn’t seem to eat any of the algae on the glass. Am I feeding him too many flakes maybe?
Yup spot on. I myself love keeping plecos they just look awsome and come in different colors and sizes. My big boy loves shrimp pellets and zucchini!
@@lburrsshinyhunts2253 not all plecos will eat the algae , every pleco are different like I stated there not just algae eaters. Best thing for algae that will clear the glass is a ZEBRA SNAIL there fantastic slow but fast at clearing it up, they cannot breed as they need brackish water for that.
@@lburrsshinyhunts2253 get your pleco a cucumber to feed on or spinach to eat. Watch some youtube videos on what to feed a pleco. A mixed diet is a healthy diet
Awesome video! This is what every aquarium needs. Thanks! ❤️
Why is this so strangely satisfying to watch lol
one of the most aesthetically pleasing animals, plecos
Post, you always play your cards close to your chest. Just when we think we know your hand, you drop an Ace on the table and thrill us once again.
He doesn't like that black stuff, gobbles it up then spits it right back out !
1st thing I noticed. He has a liking for the lite green goop. 🤣
Bruh
I love how he sits there and thinks about it for a second before he's like, "...yuck."
Racist fish
I think he gets it in his mouth, sucks the algae out of it, and then spits it back out
Suckerfish: finally, some good fucking food.
What a gorgeous fish I love these fish's personalitys there not just a cleaning catfish to me there like my gouramis and tetra with there own funny personalitys
When I was very young we had a suckered fish named George and he would do this all day to the tank his tank mate was a gold fish ...but yeah he did his job amazingly as the only time algae grew was a day after he passed on . He lived to be 12 and a half years old ( edit this video is super relaxing to watch because I loved to watch him )
When mine grew it started to dirty the water instead of cleaning.
Jack Jacobo yep that’s what they do
Yep. That’s because you were supposed to be cleaning it instead of letting the fish do it....
They only cleaning the tank not the water, 😅
My God man you have to clean a fish tank! Don’t get a fish tank if you’re going to abuse the fish.
I had a pleco once too they shit a lot and polluted my water so i had to give it away
He's so cute munching away
I have 2 of them.. I really feel happy when I see my clean aquarium ❤
Love my plecos man. I have 3 commons right now in my 55 long but about to rehome one of them to a a 40 gallon long tank. They get the job done. I havent scrubbed my glass since i got them. They even eat the algae from the filter intake
Bro wut, 3 pleco inna 55 you must have to change the water twice a week
@@ajanggocrazyyycblessfree7483 thats what im saying i have a 75g and a long although my pleccos are small i need to do a weekly change plan on getting a 150g tank though eventually
It’s like a rumba of the fish world
Omg that’s so cute
No joke I had one of these guys, and named him DJ Roomba. RIP little guy..
i like how you said "i dont know how to clean my tank so im gonna get a fish that does."
In my childhood, when my father got aquarium, he always put 1 of this fish as Cleaner, really great fish and cool how thicc it armors
I used to have a pleco! Their so awesome!
unknown fact : when it finishes all the algae in the tank, it will clean your dishes too
😂😂😂
I have always heard that plecos eat algae but i am seeing it for the first time
So satisfying. Would be interesting to see the actual time scale, hours / Days ! :)
