Default Pl*cos and tank cleaning

Enter Mr. Lonely Pl*co, in the cleanest tank in the house. I net him and
put him in the 20 gallon. 3 days later spotless. Net him again, put him in
the 15 gallon, spotless in 3 days. Goldfish no worst the wear for a few
nights of restless sleep. Now he's in the 55 gallon, this could take him
awhile.


It sound's like you have the netting under control, but it can be pretty
stressful for plecos, which tend to get their spines caught in the netting.
I've always found it easier to entice or chase them into the lower half of
a large plastic pop bottle.
