plecostemus and puffer

Question
I have a 10 gallon fish tank with 1 dwarf puffer that is about one fourth of an inch long. This tank has a very bad algae problem. So, I was wandering if I could put a plecostomus in this tank.       -Cameron

Answer
Hi Cameron:  no to the pleco as the puffer will eat it one bite at a time... you need to adjust your tanks expose to light to help stop the algae issue... about 8 hours per day is all the tank needs right now... and that includes direct sunlight, indirect sunlight, and tank light.  hope this helps... dave
