Now on the algae eater or Plecostomus, these fish will often be seen eventually hiding under rocks or fixating themselves on the side of the glass or on the gravel doing what you want them to do which is maintaining the tank, cleaning the algae and making it an aquarium that you can enjoy by seeing. So we're going to be real cautious about floating these fish. These fish are rather sensitive, again don't add these right away, add these after your tank has been established and they have something to eat. So we're going to float it just like that and we're going to reach our little net in here and there he is over there. And we've got our little fishy. I think he's in there, is he? No, he's, alright. There we go and we can just kind of let him out real gently there and he's going to swim away and find his home as he says. Usually, he goes to the bottom where he can hide and feed and be a great friend for the tank.
