Small Plec?

[untitled]

I have a small tank (about 2ft) which only contains long finned zebra's at the mo. ( I may get a few other small things for in there too). I would like a plec to go in with them but one that will not grow too big. Any ideas?

(I already have 3 common plecs, 1 bristlenose and one featherfin catfish in my various other large tanks)

Thanks!

I would reccomend a bristlenosed(aka bushynose) pleco. They stay fairly small, and are super cute. though it would help if you could get the gallonage, or a pic of the tank so we know what your working with Also , how many danios do you have in the tank?? I was also going to reccomend the golden nugget but they are SSSOOO expencive.

the tank is about 12 gallons/55litres. There are 7 zebras in there. I already have a bristlenose in another tank so would like something different for this one if possible.

Yeah golden nuggets are awesome around £30 here for a 2" as Jen already said
So thats about $60

How big do butterfly plecs get to?

I had a gold nugget in a 14 gallon tank & it took over the whole bottom of the tank! most gold nuggets that you see are the ones that grow up 12 inches +, not the small L177, even if they are marked that way!
