Huge Mexican

I borrowed this huge Mexican Turbo from my LFS to kind of clean up my rock. He's doing an incredible job. By the time he's done, it looks like someone took a wire brush to the rock.

Problem is, he's pooping like a horse. Would I be better off just taking him out. How am I supposed to deal with the huge crap piles he's leaving? I hate to take him out before he's done, but I don't want to be on pooper-scooper duty either.

No you don't need to take him out because he is dropping waste, this is to be expected with fish, snails, etc. Your biological filter will handle the waste. Protein Skimming also helps remove this waste before it becomes a problem.

Don't worry about the waste, it will just help things out in the long run. Just think what size he would be if he held it all in!!!!!
