thoughts on ID?

I'm trying to keep them out of this build. I know they are great at cleanup but I had them to grow to epic proportions in an old tank I had setup. Autofeeder on heavy and neglected tank for months when my 1st was born and had 10,000 of them or more before I shut down the tank and went on hiatus for a few years. Oh.....and I hate itchy swollen fingertips

Thanks for chiming in.
I’m leaning towards keeping them out of this setup.

Why are they not welcome in yours?

When I tore my last tank down , found a 16" one and a bunch of little ones. They get into every nook and cranny and when my help was given a rock for transfer to my current big tank, he got bristles in his fingers. Theyre not worth it to me.
