I was just wondering what type of algae eaters out there would be a good fit with turtles. I bought a regular pleco today on sale for $2.50 at pj pets and it got eaten in about 10 secs. This was after I already fed the turtles. I know there was a chance of it being eaten but my dads tank had tons of rocks nooks and crannies and I really didn't think it would happen...it just stayed in the only open area there was in the tank.... My dad had stuck a pleco in his turtle tank years back (three turtles back then) and it grew to be over 8 inches long..(12 if you count the long tail fin). Maybe some types of plecos are smarter then others?
This is all the more exasperating because I've bought feeder fishes for the turtles and now those feeders are 3 inches long.
