i've had the tank for a few months now. I've had a 10 gallon for years, but I upgraded to the 36 gallon several months ago. i don't routinely check the ammonia/nitrate/nitrites since all the other fish seem to be pretty happy. are plecos more sensitive than other community fish?

i have an undergravel filter that was handed down from my old tank, and i added an aquaclear 30 hang on tank filter. i know some people have strong feelings about the filters, but this was recommended by my lfs.

i've had common plecos. this last one was a bluefin pleco. such a shame, it was beautiful.
