I Want A Plec Too!

[the_lock_man]

I will hopefully be getting a new tank soon, which I have my stocking list planned for, and this will leave me some space in my 65l community tank for a pleco.

Could you good people give some suggestions for a small pleco, 4-5", not particularly common, as I don't want "same old same old"

Thanks!

how long and wide is the tank? Bulldog plecs dont grow beyond 4-5" but I'm not an expert on what size tank they need. Hopefully someone else will answer that question.

You will need to provide a little more info than just tank size unfortunately...

Tank dimensions?
other inhabitants?
Tank temperature?
Tank setup (ie, substrate, ornaments, plants, bogwood etc etc)

It's not just a matter of picking a plec that will stay small enough, other factors are conditions that you want it to thrive in.

+1 to that info
Also there is a small pleco called a Pitbull Pleco LDA025 (defferent from Bulldog Pleco)
Or Otos, there are loads of Otos, I have one that resembles a common pleco but only gets to 1.4"
