just how much pleco's poop until I gave them their own tank! lol
My pair of BN's have started spawning. Unfortunately, their first clutch of eggs weren't fertile, but I have read that once they start spawning, they don't stop. So I decided to take the pair out of my community tank and give them their own tank.
In my community tank I have black gravel so I didn't really notice the excessive amount of waste that these two produced. But in their new tank I decided to use playsand (which they seem to love) but OMG! I am having to vac the sand pretty much daily just to keep it somewhat presentable since it all just sits on top of the sand now. And since the sand is light colored, it's very noticeable.
Maybe I should have went with black sand! lol

Large plecos are especially notorious for that but BN's are almost as bad.
