I am new to Pleco's and have Albino Bushy nose. Since she is a veggie Pleco, I was wondering if omnivour or mainly meat eaters poop as much as she does. I have to vac the tank twice aweek and I use a Magnum hot shot fine filter to do so.
I had thought of getting Hypancistrus Sp.

You are right. The more carnivorous plecos (like
) do not poop nearly as much as the more vegetarian bristlenose (
), but the kings of the poopers are the wood eating
.
Remember if you do get a
, they like warm water (27C+) and won't eat any algae.
They are also likely to hide more than the bristlnose, but will come out to feed once settled down.

I really don't have an alge problem. Just a bit of green spot that I remove. Time to trade out the BN. No wood eaters, got you there!
I really only wanted one small (5-) prefer B/W color that was out and about more and not a veggie. May end up with just a small more active type.
