Hi Tek

You could try a common pleco, but they get huge.

I think they are pretty hardy. Depends on what species i suppose. The pleco's i've had are very hardy. Try a bristlenose in that size tank.

most plecos are very hearty fish, some of the exotics like zebra plecs require brisine water though. bristle nose are good but not the best algae eaters. I'd go with a common plec and when he outgrows the tank get a larger tank!!! or trade it back to the lfs for credit on something else.
