without seeing them, to be safe assume they will get to 18"
there are 3 different species that are sold as gold nuggets, 2 get big, (18") one gets to about 8".
single fish will be fine

Ok then thanks for your help. I just wanted to know as i would of liked one for my 22g but not now as they get too big. I seen them today at my LFS at £20 each and they were about 6cm long, looked well smart!
Would you recommend any which don't grow that big and would be ok in a 22g?
Thanks!

14" is the max for GNs - been reading into them as I've just got one myself
Another pointless piece of info for you there *lol* considering you're not getting one any more!
I'm useless at guaging tank size by gallonage, but I can recommend a flash plec as a nice looking smaller plec, along with bristlenoses (especially albinos or black eyed golds), clown plecs, and leopard frog plecs. I've got a flash and a couple of bristlenoses, but my other plecs are biggies.
Whiptails are nice too Hubby has a pair in his community tank and they're beautiful.

They do get 10"+ but are extremely slow growing..
Single fish are fine, provide plenty of hiding places and add a block of bloodworm after lights out a few times a week as they arnt strictly algae eaters

They'd need more than just bloodworm. Veggies, shrimp, pleco wafers/tablets, bloodworm, shrimp/mussell/squid pellets, etc. No plec can live on tank algae, and a gold nugget cant live on algae and bloodworm alone.
