I've got pleco, changed water, clean all the time, but it's turned by large rocks, not gravel black. I've removed them from tank. Can I boil them in hot water to kill algae?

First keep your tank out of direct sunlight also do not leave your tank light on all day, get an algae eater, and use a algae scraper to srape it off

Clean your tank, wash the rocks and everything you have in there. Buy a couple algae eaters. All Aquariums should be cleaned at least once every 4 to 6 weeks. Myself, I clean mine once a week, and it is a 100 gallon tank. Hard work, but I love my fish.

WHAT YOU NEED TO DO IS GET A COUPLE ALGEA EATERS AND THEY WILL DO THE TRICK
BECARE FULL CAUSE EVERY TIME I CLEAN MY FISH TANK MY FISH DIES SO BE VERY CAREFULL
WITH OUT CLEANING MY FISH TANK MY FISH IT IS AGOUPIEE BUT IT TURNED GOLD CAUSE IT WAS WITH GOLD FISH
WELL ANY WAYS IT HAS ALMOST LIVED 2 YEARS IN APRIL IT WILL BE TWO YEARS AND IT LIVED WITHOUT CLEANING THE TANK JUST CLEANING THE FILTER AND ADDING WATER
GOOD LUCKHOPE IT HELPS

i would be very careful changing the water frequently, that can kill them
either get new rocks, or buy some fertilizer to remove it
