    I'm setting up my new tank & put in a juwel 3d background yesterday. Only filled the tank today so will be a while yet before i add the fish.
    Just wondering if anyone has a 3d background & a pleco in their tank? Will the pleco destroy it over time?

    My pleco distroyed part of the 3D background after the first night. I had to rehome her so I would advise not to get one. I use Siamese Algae Eaters to eat the algae now.

    All I have left in my old tank is one pleco & one clown loach. I was hoping to move them to the new tank but I'll have to rehome the pleco.
    Are the siamese algae eaters as good as a pleco for keeping the tank clean?

    My plec actually scrubbed everything clean unfortunately including my lovely background. The Siamese AE leave a more natural look but do a great job too. Just don't feed them too much or they get lazy. They so like to live in little groups but are interesting fish & look nice too.

    Thanks for the help,I'll definitely look for a few once the tank is ready for them.

    I have a 3D background and my pleco never touched it - must have been lucky.
