Here's an update on my office tank. I put a Rubber Lip Pleco in here 18 days ago, and it's amazing how much BBA it has already eaten. Rubber Lip Plecos are often called Algae Eaters, or Sucker Fish, but I think of them as Aufwuchs Grazers. Either Way, they do a great job of controlling algae of all kinds.
