    Will Plecostomus eat fry?

    I'm starting to have a bit of an algae problem developing so I was thinking of getting a plecostomus, will it eat fry?

    The only thing I seen a pleco eat besides algae & fish type food is a dead corpse...or a fish that is wounded and is staying near the bottom (slow swimming).
