They get quite large, and no matter the size of your turtle, he'll eventually start taking bites at it. If you have a good filter, you really don't need a fish to clean up. Not only that, but a fish will just add to the waste in the water.

beware of the pleco as they poop more than they clean.

No, I just googled that pic. I'd like to get a pleco, but I can't. If that mammoth crayfish didn't survive, a fish surely won't.
