    Plecosmus Replacement

    Why is the common plec. not made for tanks? Seems like perhaps I should get rid of the bigger, meaner Jack Dempsey. IF I do that maybe I can get a pair of small angels and a pair of pink kissing gourami's.

    Is there like a special carbon that I could change in the filter to get rid of the smell or anything? Does it just take time for the tank to establish and then the smell disappears? Thanks for any help
