Why get a bottom feeder at all? Feed them what they'll eat in a
minute, a couple times a day...boom...Aaaaand...Have you fed
AC's? Little, if anything, hits the bottom of the
tank...lol...Mine even sift the sand looking for any
"scraps"...lol...

I bought 8 africans from KG Tropical, drove home, 40 minutes,
let the bags sit in my tank for 20 minutes and followed Johns
advice and drained the bags thru the fish net into a bucket and
let them loose in the aquarium and they were just fine. sure was
easier than the old way mixing tank water with the bag water

I added a Panama Red Bushynose Pleco to my 90 gal mbuna tank. It
got "jumped in" for a few minutes. 6 fish together beat the
pleco into the sand, literally. I stopped the beating by
throwing an algae wafer in to distract the mbuna (gave them
something else to fight over). The pleco lost a little bit of
its tail fin, but after the initial hazing, none of the other
fish bother it any more, even if it's on the glass.
