Clown Plecs

[cmfoggy]

Hi all
I heard that is was possible to keep a clown plec in a 5g tank would that be true or false.
I have a 5g tank and wanted to know what i could put in it in the way of catfish type.
Any ideas would be great.
I don't think it would be good for many if any cause it is a tall tank not very long at all.
cheers

I wouldn't sugget it they reach about 4 inches length. I'm guseeing hes also going to have some tankmates. Plecos are generally high waste producers, and in such a little tank you could have some major problems for not only the pelco but his tankmates as well.

especially in a tall tank, catfish as a general rule prefer width and length rather than height.
