It hit me yesterday.

For those of you who don't know, I'm growing out six baby bristlenose in a ten (for now).

As I was gravel vacuming yesterday...it hit me. I can retire and watch fish all day and night if I can just come up with a way to invent the one item that all freshwater fishkeepers need - if they know it or not.

The Pleco Diaper.

Holy Mother of Fish Dung can those little guys make a mess!!! They're only like 1.75" and you'd think I had a pony in there.

It's amazing what they can "doo" in a week. Yikes.

try cleaning up after a couple hundred of those little guys! I usually reserve Sunday's for the super cleanings because it does take a while. Spent about 5 hours cleaning the tanks today and another 2 hours yesterday.
Shocked

AHAHAHA! ROFLMAO! They make a HUGE mess. You think those guys are bad? Try having a few panaques in the same tank. They're like termites!

No doubt. I can't imagine cleaning up after the hawgs you have. Do you just use a dog pooper-scooper or what? Laughing
