Plecos?

[Platygirl11]

Hi.
I have a 38 gal tank with the following stock:
3x platy (soon to be 4)
3x guppy (Again, soon to be 4)
1x dwarf gourami
+fry. A lot of fry.

So, what (if any) pleco could be suitable for my tank?
Could it be kept alone?
Would it eat the fry?
Would it be fairly inexpensive to keep?
Would it be OK with gravel?
And any other advice/needs.
Thanks!

LOL, just provide some wood, a cave, algae wafers and courgette (zucchini) and clean water - very easy to keep (and breed should you chose to have 2) I found females to be more visible and males to hide a lot but others have outgoing males too. There are lots of different types - brown, albino, calico, longfin, starlight etc.

yes, i agree with indigoj. They are easy fish to keep so there should not be any problems.
