Ok, Now I an getting some past info crossed up here..Stuff I have done....things they say your not spose to do, or things that don;t work...

Will Common Plecos clean your glass of Algie or not?
Will Salt Kill them or not?

I use to add salt to my tank and my pleco lived to be two feet long...
And it was my understanding they do eat algie "clean galss ect ect" But I am hearing both sides of
They dont; eat Algie...and they Do eat it...
IS salt good for them or will it really kill them?

This is more directed at common Plecos...not any special types..
TIA,,
Larry
